. Pixels and image size
A digital camera image is a collection of small
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are
in an image, the more detail there will be.
However, you generally can do with fewer
pixels when printing an image (L size)
through a print service, attaching an image to
e-mail, when viewing the image on a
computer, etc.
The size of an image indicates how many
pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixels
x
vertical pixels.
• Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
• For information about image size and number of images that can be stored, see
page 125.
• For information about movie size, see page 125.
