How Much Space is Left on my CF Memory Card—	Shooting Mode
Confirming the Number of Exposures Remaining

The total number of images that can be saved on a CF memory card depends on the amount of space left in the CF memory card being used, and on the selected Image quality and size.

To confirm the number of exposures remaining, check the Control panel and Monitor.

No available exposure

•The counter showing the number of exposures remaining decrements until “0” is displayed after which no further space is available. At this point, a warning indication OUT OF MEMORY is displayed in the Monitor.

•The approximate number of images that can be recorded is as follows.

Memory card: 16MB [64MB] (Note that the numbers will vary significantly with the composition of the pictures due to the way that JPEG compression works.)

Image quality			FINE	NORMAL		BASIC
Image size		HI
FULL (no indication)	1 [6]		10 [40]	19	[78]	37 [151]
	Not available		16 [65]	31 [126]		59 [236]
	Not available		24 [100]	47 [190]		86 [347]
	Not available		37 [151]	69 [278]		121 [488]
	Not available		86 [347]	144	[578]	229 [918]
	1 [7]		11 [45]	22	[88]	42 [169]

Notes: The number of exposures remaining

•From time to time the number may not count down when shots are taken or deleted, particularly if the Image size is small.

•Even when “0” is shown, selecting another Image quality or size may enable more shots to be taken as there may be enough space for one or more images of a smaller size or higher compression ratio. By the same token, changing the Image quality or size may cause the frame counter to drop to “0”.

•No more shots can be taken when the image file names and folder numbers (p. 128) reach the maximum number (image file name: DSCN9999.JPG, folder number: 999). To continue, change the memory card or delete all of the image data on the card. Note that with the setting Seq. Numbers On, file names are assigned with the next highest number remaining in the memory card, so when a file with a high file name number is left in the memory, the maximum number, DSCN9999.JPG, will soon be reached and no more shots can be taken even if more memory is available on the card.
