Choose a Photo Size

You can select the combination of image size and image quality (i.e., image compression
ratio) that is used when saving images. The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size
at which images can be printed, and the lower the compression ratio, the higher the quality
of the images, but the number of images that can be saved (A 55) decreases.
