SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Specifying Image Size
A digital camera image is a collection of small dots (pixels).
The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and
is expressed as horizontal pixels × vertical pixels. The initial
factory default image size setting is 8M (3264 × 2448 pixels).
Note that a larger image takes up more memory.
