Memory Card Capacity and Image Mode
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 ap-
pearance.
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 Mode
The current image mode is shown by an icon at the bottom
left corner of the monitor.
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be
stored on 16- and 256-megabyte memory cards at different image modes.
* 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. If memory remains for
more than 999 pictures, camera exposure count display will show 999.
