Image size and quality
You can choose image size (number of
pixels) and image quality (compression
ratio) based on the kind of images you
want to shoot. The larger you make the
image size and the higher you make the
image quality, the better your image, but
also the larger the amount of data needed
to preserve your image. This means you
can save fewer images in your “Memory
Stick.”
Choose an image size and quality level
appropriate for the kind of images you
want to shoot.
You can resize the images later (Resize
