Image Size And Quality - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P10 Operating Instructions Manual

Image size and quality

You can choose image size (number of
pixels) and image quality (compression
ratio) based on the kind of images you want
to shoot. The larger you make the image
size and the higher you make the image
quality, the better your image, but also the
larger the amount of data needed to preserve
your image. This means you can save fewer
images in your "Memory Stick."
Choose an image size and quality level
appropriately for the kind of images you
want to shoot.
You can resize the images later (Resize
function, see page 65).
You can choose image size from among the five options in the following tables. The below
image size is a minimum setting for examples. When you want to improve image quality,
select the larger image size.
