Image Mode (Image Size and Quality)
Select the combination of image size and compression ratio to be used when saving
images.
The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it 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 is reduced.
The setting is also applied to other shooting modes.
* The numerical values indicate the number of pixels that are captured.
Example: P 4608×3456 = approx. 16 megapixels, 4608 × 3456 pixels
