You can select between 4:3 and 3:2 for the aspect ratio of still images.
4:3 is a normal aspect ratio of the images captured with a digital camera.
When printing an image with no border and an aspect ratio of 4:3, part
of the image may not appear on the print. Set the aspect ratio to 3:2 for
prints with more of the original image.
You can also select from six recorded pixels settings for each aspect
ratio.
The larger your recorded pixels, the finer the details will appear when
you print your picture. The quality of the printed picture depends on the
image quality, exposure control, resolution of the printer and other
factors; therefore, you do not need select more than the required number
of recorded pixels.
1024×768 is sufficient for printing a postcard-size print.
The more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the bigger the file
size. The data volume also varies depending on the quality level setting
(1p.93).
