Digital cameras make pictures by recording the light that hits photo sensors.The digital information is recorded as pixels...or points of information.These pixels can be thought of as microscopic dots that make up your picture.If there are enough pixels you will get a good, sharp picture.With too few pixels, the picture will have jagged edges in the subject matter.
The number of pixels you need for a good print depends on the size of the print.The larger the print size, the more pixels (dots) are necessary to fill in the space.
How you set your camera can determine the number of pixels you get and the subsequent quality of your prints.We recommend setting your camera at the highest resolution and "Best" quality level to get the highest quality on your prints and give yourself the option of ordering bigger prints.(The downside of setting your camera to the highest quality level is that you'll be shooting fewer pictures before filling up a memory card.)
Here are the minimum resolution file sizes we recommend for each print size:
Size Recommended Minimum Resolution Megapixels
4x6 600x800 0.4
5x7 960x1280 1.2
8x10 1200x1600 1.9
