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" 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. 1) The factory setting is [7M] (DSC-P150) or [5M] (DSC-P100/P120). It is the highest image quality on this camera. 2) Images are recorded in the same 3:2 aspect ratio as photograph printing paper or postcards, etc. 20 Short description of the image size The following illustration shows a brief image using the maximum image size and the minimum one. 3072 2592 640 Display size: 7M (DSC-P150 only) Image size: 7M 3072 pixels × 2304 pixels=7,077,888 pixels Display size: 5M Image size: 5M 2592 pixels × 1944 pixels=5,038,848 pixels 2304 1944 480 Display size: VGA (E-Mail) Image size: VGA 640 pixels × 480 pixels=307,200 pixels Examples based on the image size Image size Usage guidelines 7M1) (3072×2304) (DSC-P150) Larger • For saving important images, printing in A3 size or printing A4 size high density images 3:22) (3072×2048) (DSC-P150) 5M1) (2592×1944) 3:22) (2592×1728) (DSC-P100/P120) • For saving important images, printing in A4 size or printing A5 size high density images 3M (2048×1536) 1M (1280×960) • For printing in postcard size VGA (E-Mail) (640×480) Smaller • For recording a larger number of images • For attaching images to e-mail or creating home pages

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” 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.
1)
The factory setting is [7M] (DSC-P150) or
[5M] (DSC-P100/P120). It is the highest image
quality on this camera.
2)
Images are recorded in the same 3:2 aspect ratio
as photograph printing paper or postcards, etc.
