Chapter 5 THE “RECORDING” (CAMERA
ICON) MENU SETTINGS

5.1 IMAGE SIZE

Menu Position MENU  1  Image Size

What it Does Dictates the pixel dimensions of the captured image – you
can choose from Large (24 MP), Medium (12 MP), or Small (6.0 MP) images

Recommended Setting L: 24M (the largest the camera can capture)

Constraints Not selectable when shooting RAW only.

There may be times when you won’t necessarily want to shoot large and
very detailed images. (Posting product images to ebay, for example, where
24 MP is quite simply overkill.) And so your camera allows you to take
pictures at lower resolutions for the times you need to – quite versatile!
The three options that are available to you are:

Setting Pixel Large enough Approx. file size produced
Dimensions to print (at on your memory card
300 dpi) (your mileage may vary)
