Changing the Image Quality and Image Size
Shooting Features
Available Image Size
You can set the JPEG image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded with an
image quality of Fine, Normal or Basic.
The larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed
without becoming noticeably “grainy,” limiting the number of pictures that can be
recorded.
Conversely, small image sizes are suitable for pictures attached to e-mails or used
on web pages. However, printing small images in large print sizes results in the
image turning “grainy.”
* The total number of pixels captured, and the number of pixels captured horizontally and
vertically.
Example: M 3648×2736 = 10 megapixels, 3648×2736 pixels
C Image Size Setting
• The setting for the image size is shown by an icon displayed on the monitor during shooting and
playback (A8 to 10).
• The setting is also applied to other shooting modes (except for low noise night mode, and
shooting modes E, F and N).
• In low noise night mode, the available image size is C 2048×1536 or smaller.
• The size of JPEG images can be chosen when you create JPEG images from NRW (RAW) images
using NRW (RAW) processing (E17) (up to a maximum of 3648 × 2736 pixels).
• Image size for the JPEG image can be set when NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal or
NRW (RAW) + Basic is selected. However, note that I 3648×2432, z 3584×2016 and
H2736×2736 cannot be selected.
• This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See “Features That Cannot Be
Used Simultaneously” (A80) for more information.
