Tips
The size of the image is indicated by the pixel unit. The higher the number of pixels, the more
information is included. So, an image that is saved using a large number of pixels is suitable
for a large-format print and one that is saved using a smaller number of pixels is suitable for
attaching to an E-mail. Normally, an image is recorded in the ratio of four to three to fit the
monitor ratio. This camera can also record the image in the ratio of three to two to
accommodate the most common printing paper size. This is the same ratio as the one used in
photo-developing shops.
