    REFERENCE
    When printing still images, use the following guidelines as a reference for selecting the print size.
    LW (1152x648): To print photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Wide-sized photo paper is required.
    L (1152x864): To print photos up to L size (9 x 13 cm, 3.5 x 5 in.) or postcard size (10 x 14.8 cm, 4 x 6 in.).
    S (640x480): To send images as e-mail attachments or to post on the Web.

    CAUTION
    - Depending on the number of images on the memory card (Windows: 1,800 images or more; Macintosh: 1,000 images or more), you may not be able to transfer images to a computer. Try using a card reader.
    - Connection to a PictBridge-compatible printer will not work when the memory card contains 1,800 images or more. For best performance, we recommend keeping the number of images on the memory card under 100.
    - The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the camcorder to mode.
