Taking Photographs—Beyond Point-and-Shoot
Image Size
Image size refers to the physical dimensions of the image, measured in pixels.
Smaller sizes require less space to store, making them suited to distribution by
e-mail and the web. Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at
which it can be printed without becoming noticeably “grainy.” Choose an
image size according to the space available on the memory card and the task
at hand.
To choose an image size, rotate the command dial while pressing the
button.
