Selecting The Number Of Recorded Pixels - Pentax 17731 Operating Manual

Selecting the Number of Recorded Pixels

You can choose from nine recorded pixels settings for still pictures.
The larger the number of 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. h is adequate for making postcard-size prints. The
more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the bigger the file size.
Refer to the following table for the appropriate settings according to
expected usage.
