Image Size

OIS

The size setting refers to the image resolution in
pixels. A higher image resolution allows you to print
that image in larger sizes without degrading the image
quality.

This mode can help reduce photo blur caused by
unintentional hand shake, low light or slow shutter
speed.

The bigger the number of recorded pixels is,
the better the image quality becomes. As the
number of recorded pixels lessen, you will be
able to record more images on a memory card.

Use this image stabilization mode in dark
environments or when using a slower shutter
speed.
Shooting in a windy or unstable environment
(such as a moving vehicle) may cause blurred
images.
