Solution
With your camera, you can resize an image to make the pixel count lower and save it as a new image. Resizing an image is possible only with JPEG L / M / S1 / S2 images.
IMPORTANT
- JPEG S3 and RAW images cannot be resized.
- To resize RAW images, you can process RAW images and save them as JPEG M / S1 /S2 / S3 images. For details on the RAW image-processing, please see the instruction manual supplied with the camera.
