A wide-field CCD has been used to obtain photometry of resolved stars in the main body of the Local Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 6822. Under good seeing conditions, the relatively large pixel size of the chip produces a poor sampling of the stellar profiles. This paper discusses how this undersampling affects the quality of the photometry and shows that this problem can be overcome when the point-spread function is suitably modelled. Finally, a brief discussion of the stellar content of NGC 6822 is given in the light of the [(V-R), V] colour-magnitude diagram.
