* All fi gures are approximate. File size of pictures depends on scene recorded, produc-
ing wide variations in number of images that can be stored.
Image Quality/Size and Number of Exposures Remaining
The fi gure shown in the monitor for the number of exposures remaining is only an
approximation. The fi le size of compressed images varies with the scene recorded,
producing wide variations in the number of pictures that can be stored on the memory
card.
Image Size
Smaller images create smaller fi les suited to transmission by e-mail or use in web
pages. When printed at larger sizes, however, small images will be rough and uneven
in appearance.
Print Size
The size of images when printed depends on the printer resolution: the higher the
resolution, the smaller the fi nal print size.
Image Quality/Size
The current image quality/size setting is shown by an
icon at the bottom left corner of the monitor.
