. Pixels and image size
A digital camera image is a collection of small
dots called "pixels". The more pixels there are
in an image, the more detail there will be.
However, you generally can do with fewer
pixels when printing an image (L size) through
a print service, attaching an image to e-mail,
when viewing the image on a computer, etc.
The size of an image indicates how many
pixels it contains, and is expressed as
horizontal pixels
vertical pixels.

• Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be
stored, see page 233.
• For information about movie image size, see page 117.
• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 148.

of nature that includes dense tree branches or leaves, or an image of a complex
