❚❚ 1.3Ч (18Ч12) Image Area
1 All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded.
2 Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Drops at image
qualities marked with a star (“
★”) or if auto distortion control is on.
3 Figures assume size-priority JPEG compression. Selecting an image-quality option marked
with a star (“
★”; optimal compression) increases the file size of JPEG images; number of
images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.
