Wouldn’t a camera with a constant resolution capture images of the same quality and therefore file size? How is it possible that some images on my camera can be 1.5 MB, and others 2.5 MB?
In: Technology
Basically, most images are in a compressed format. If a photo has a huge amount of pixels of the same color in a given area, the file format can record this as one piece of information. It’s like when you’re remembering a phone number: it’s a lot easier to remember a sequence if you have two or three numbers that are the same in a row. So, a picture of a blue sky is going to be smaller than a picture of a Jackson Pollock painting.
