Image Quality and Size
Together, image quality and size determine how much space each photograph occupies on
the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also re-
quire more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be stored on the memory card.
Changes to image quality and size are refl ected in the number of exposures remaining as
displayed in the control panel and viewfi nder ( 19).
