In general, the file size of captured image depends on which image size and quality you have selected. Since the image size may vary depending on scenes and subjects, these are approximate values only. Image size 2560x1920 / 2080x1560 /1600x1200 / 640x480 Std: 1,491KB /1,025KB / 656KB / 240KB FINE: 2,520KB /1,704KB / 1,058KB / 320 KB X.FIN: 4,920KB / 3,289KB / 1,995KB / 420KB TIFF: 14,520KB / 9,506KB / 5,625KB / 900KB RAW: 7,373KB Movie: 522KB/s

Thumbnuils

Thumbnails are a database record of images stored on the computer, in small (hence "thumb-nail") size.
When you browse through your folder's file explorer, instead of seeing a full size of every file, you see the "thumbnail" image.
This database is sometimes called "Thumbs.db", but usually hidden from the user.
Think of a 35mm negative "proof-strip" at the developer lab.

I have my S610 set to take photos @ 5MB. But when I download them to Picassa, they are ~1.2 MB. Is this a camera setting or Picassa?

Neither. The camera is taking pictures at 5 megapixels resolution. The file size of the image is only loosely related to the resolution. You'll note that your pictures are all different sizes. The size is dependent on the content of the picture. If you take a picture of a blank wall or a plain blue sky, the file size will be smaller than the file size of a picture of a cluttered scene, because it takes more bytes to record detail.

If you look at your pictures in your image viewer, you'll see that the pictures are all the same dimension (width and height), regardless of the file size.

Changing file/photo size

Image size: Press the FUNC/SET button. Use cursor-up/down to select the current image size at the lower-left corner. Use cursor-right/left to select the desired size and press FUNC/SET.

File size (compression): Same as above, except choose the item just above the image size.

Full instructions are in the "Changing the Recording Pixels/Compression (Still images)" section of the manual (page 57 in my copy). If you need a manual, you can download one from the manufacturer's web site at

Hi, I have Sony Cybershot DSC w320 digital camera of 14.1 MP. Can you please tell me how I can take the pictures on less Mega Pixcal so that the size of file get reduced. Thanks, Prateek

Hi,
The image size determines the size of the image file that is recorded when you take an image. The larger the image size, the more detail will be reproduced when the image is printed on large format paper. The smaller the image size, the more images can be recorded. To change the Image Size in the Camera, press and select the MENU-->Image Size-->Desired Size [(640×480)VGA or (2592×1944)5M] The quality of the VGA Image is very less when compared to the 14M.
Good Luck

Features of each record mode

The details for each record mode are as follows: RAW: RAW data is unprocessed image data in its original state to which white balance, sharpness, contrast, color conversion and other processes have not been applied. CAMEDIA Master can be used to display RAW data and save it in other image formats. A RAW plug-in is also available for Adobe Photoshop which also provides the ability to process images in 32-bit color depth. TIFF: This is the highest-quality mode. images are saved as uncompressed data, which is the best for printing or image processing on a computer. SHQ: This is a high quality mode using the JPEG format. Because the compression rate is very low, high quality images can be stored. HQ: This is a high quality mode using JPEG format, with medium compression. Because the compression rate is higher than SHQ, file sizes are smaller. More images can be saved to a card. The file size can be changed in the 3:2 or Enlarge size mode as well as SHQ. 3:2 Mode: Ordinarily the image aspect ratio is set to 4:3. Due to change the ratio to 3:2, the picture size becomes 2592 x 1728 so that the image can be printed without losing the image borders at a photo lab. 3:2 can be set in the TIFF, SHQ, or HQ mode. SQ1/SQ2: SQ1 is used for resolutions above 1600 x1200 and SQ2 is used for resolutions below 1600 x1200. For both, you can choose high compression to reduce noise or normal compression to save more images.
