What size and format should image for WPF MenuItem Icon be?

What size and format should a WPF MenuItem Icon be to look right?

Right now I have 

<ContextMenu>
  <MenuItem Header="Camera">
    <MenuItem.Icon>
      <Image Source="images/camera.png" />
    </MenuItem.Icon>

But in the menu, the icon spills over margin, which looks bad.

Frustratingly, the docs don't give this information. System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem.Icon

this is the code:

<MenuItem>
   <MenuItem.Header>
      <StackPanel>
         <Image Width="20" Height="20" Source="PATH to your image" />
       </StackPanel>
   </MenuItem.Header>
</MenuItem>

You can also try stretch Image.Stretch Property

I think that the right size of image would be 20px.

Just specify the Width and the Heigth of your image:

Use this:

<MenuItem.Icon>
  <Image Source="images/camera.png" 
        Width="20"
        Height="20" />
</MenuItem.Icon>
...
