Changing the Image Size (Image Mode)
You can use the Image mode setting in the shooting
menu to select the combination of image size and
compression rate that is used when saving pictures.
Choose the image mode best suited to the manner in
which pictures will be used and the capacity of the
internal memory or memory card. The higher the
image mode setting, the larger the size at which it can
be printed, but limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.
