Cropped pictures are stored as JPEG files (compression ratio 1 : 8). Depending on
the size of the original and the zoom ratio at the time the copy was created, copies
will be 2,592 × 1,944, 2,048 × 1,536, 1,600 × 1,200, 1,024 × 768, 640 × 480, 320
× 240, or 160 × 120 pixels in size. Copies are stored in separate files in the memory
or on the memory card with names of the form "RSCNnnnn.JPG," where "nnnn"
is a four-digit number assigned automatically by the camera.
