Image Size
Image size is measured in pixels. Smaller sizes pro duce smaller fi les, making
them suited to dis tri bu tion via e-mail or inclusion in web pages. Con verse ly, the
larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed without becoming
noticeably “grainy.” Choose image size according to the space available on the
memory card and the task at hand.
