Image size represents the resolution of the picture. The resolution is, in turn, directly related to the number of pixels of the camera. As such, 2.0 Mega-pixel can be arranged as 1600 x 1200 pixels or lower.
The higher the resolution size of an image, the larger the memory space it occupies. Please refer to “Memory Capacity, Size and Quality” section for more details (
