Shooting images 1944 480 Image size and quality You can choose image size (number of pixels) and image quality (compression ratio) based on the kind of images you want to shoot. The image size is shown by the number of pixels (dots) (horizontal × vertical), which compose an image. For example, a 5M (2592×1944) size image indicates that there are 2592 pixels horizontally and 1944 pixels vertically. The larger the number of pixels, the larger the image size. You can select from Fine (high quality) or Standard image quality. Each uses a different compression ratio. When you select Fine, the image quality improves as the image size increases, but the amount of recorded data also increases and the number of images that can be recorded on a "Memory Stick Duo" decreases. Refer to the table on the right and choose the image size and image quality appropriate to the kind of images you want to shoot.
