A digital picture is made of numerous dots
called pixels. Although you cannot see the
difference on the camera’s screen, the
more pixels the finer the picture will be
when it is printed on a large piece of paper
or displayed on a PC monitor. Picture
quality refers to the compression rate when
saving digital pictures.

post them on a website because their file
size is small.

• The number of pixels that can be selected
differs depending on the aspect ratio. If
you change the aspect ratio, set the
picture size.
• “EZ” is an abbreviation of
“Extended optical Zoom”. (P26)
• The extended optical zoom does not work
in [HIGH SENS.] in scene mode so the
picture size for [EZ] is not displayed.
• Pictures may appear mosaic depending
on the subject and the recording
conditions.
• Refer to P104 for information about the
number of recordable pictures.
• The number of recordable pictures
depends on the subject.
