Changing the Image Size (Image Mode)
You can select the combination of image size and compression ratio that is used
when saving images.
Select the image mode best suited to the manner in which images 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 the number of
images that can be saved is reduced.
