Determining the number of pictures you can take
You can store as many as 113 images in the camera’s internal memory. The number of pictures that you can take and store in the space remaining in memory depends on several factors. Unlike conventional film, each digital image takes up a different amount of space in memory. Images that are complex and contain many details take up more space, whereas simple images take up less space. Pictures taken full size occupy more space, whereas pictures taken with digital zoom occupy less space. However, the most important factor in image size is the image quality you have selected.
The number of images remaining in memory is indicated in the status LCD on top of the camera. It is an approximate number that decreases as you take pictures.
Note | You can take each picture with a different setting. As |
| you change the settings, the number of remaining |
| images that is indicated on the status LCD changes. |
