Shooting still images 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 1944 vertically. The larger the number of pixels, the larger the image size. You can select an image quality level from Fine (high quality) or Standard. Each has a different compression ratio. When you select Fine and make the image size larger, you get better quality. However, the amount of data needed to preserve your image is larger and the number of images recordable in the "Memory Stick" is fewer. Choose an image size and quality level appropriate to the kind of images you want to shoot by checking the table below. 1) The default setting is [5M] (DSC-P93) or [4M] (DSC-P73). This size can give the highest image quality using each camera. 2) This option records images in a horizontal to vertical proportion of 3:2 to match the size of the print paper used.

Shooting still images
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 1944 vertically. The larger the
number of pixels, the larger the image size.
You can select an image quality level from
Fine (high quality) or Standard.
Each has a different compression ratio.
When you select Fine and make the image
size larger, you get better quality. However,
the amount of data needed to preserve your
image is larger and the number of images
recordable in the “Memory Stick” is fewer.
Choose an image size and quality level
appropriate to the kind of images you want
to shoot by checking the table below.
1)
The default setting is [5M] (DSC-P93) or [4M]
(DSC-P73). This size can give the highest
image quality using each camera.
2)
This option records images in a horizontal to
vertical proportion of 3:2 to match the size of
the print paper used.

The following illustration shows a brief image using the maximum image size and the
minimum one.
