Image Mode (Image Size and Quality)
Select the combination of image size and image quality (compression ratio) that is
used when saving images.
The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size with which it can be
printed, and the lower the compression ratio, the higher the image quality that is
achieved, but the number of images that can be saved (E30) is reduced.
1
The total number of pixels captured and the number of pixels captured horizontally and
vertically.
Example: Q 4608×3456 = Approx. 16 megapixels, 4608 × 3456 pixels
2
Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi.
Print sizes are calculated by dividing the number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and
multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at the same image size, images printed at higher
resolutions will print smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions
will print larger than the size indicated.
The icon for the current setting is displayed on the monitor in shooting and
playback modes (A10, 12).
