A digital picture is made of numerous dots
called pixels. Although you cannot see the
difference on the camera's screen, the
more the pixels the finer the picture will be
when it is printed on a large piece of paper
or displayed on a computer monitor. Picture
quality refers to the compression rate when
saving digital pictures.
A Many pixels (Fine)
B Few pixels (Rough)
¢ These pictures are examples to
show the effect.
∫ Number of pixels
When you select a larger picture size [
(10 million pixels), you can print pictures
clearly.
If a small number of pixels [
pixels) is selected, the size of the data will
be small, so more pictures can be
recorded.
• The number of pixels that can be selected
differs depending on the aspect ratio.
