Selecting The Recorded Pixels - Pentax Optio V10 Operating Manual

Selecting the Recorded Pixels

You can choose from seven recorded pixels settings for still pictures.
The larger your recorded pixels, the clearer the details will appear when
you print your picture. As the quality of the printed picture also depends
on the image quality, exposure control, resolution of the printer and other
factors, you do not need to select more than the required number of
recorded pixels. i (1600×1200) is adequate for making postcard-size
prints. The more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the bigger
the file size. The file size also varies depending on the quality level
setting (p.85).
