 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

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 139.
 For information about movie image size, see page 139.
