The new image size and compression rate is displayed on the live monitor image.
Compression
Image size
If image resolution is changed, the frame counter displays the approximate number of images that can be recorded at that setting on the installed memory card. The number of images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size of the card and the file size of the images, how- ever no more than 999 images can be recorded on one memory card. The actual file size is deter- mined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others.

Camera Notes
The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the memory card at the camera’s resolution settings. If the settings are changed, the frame count- er adjusts accordingly. Because the counter uses approximate file sizes, the actual image taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one. When the frame counter displays zero, it indicates no more images at the image size and compression settings can be captured. Changing those settings may allow more images to be saved to the card.
