Size (Image Size)
Image size represents the resolution of the
picture. The resolution is, in turn, directly
related to the number of pixels of the camera.
As such, 2.0 Mega-pixel can be arranged as
1600 x 1200 pixels or lower.
The higher the resolution size of an
image, the larger the memory space
it occupies. Please refer to “Memory
Capacity, Size and Quality” section
for more details ( p.30).
Icon Type of Media Descriptions
Super Fine Highest detail and resolution (2048x1538 3.0 Mega-
Image Pixel) (output by software interpolation)*

Pixel)

• The DSC-220 comes with a 2.0 Mega-pixel sensor with true 1600 x 1200 pixels
output. When you choose 2048 on the menu, the software interpolation is enabled
automatically. This enhances the image output to 3.0 Mega-pixel.
Quality (Picture Quality)
The picture quality represents the compression
rate of the images taken. For images with
higher quality, the memory space it takes is
also higher. Conversely, images with low
quality take up less space.

High Quality Good image quality, high amount of image data.
Standard Standard quality, medium amount of image data.
