The number of possible shots and maximum burst (p.52) apply to a Canon 512MB CF card.

The single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100, Picture Style: [Standard]). The actual single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, Picture Style, etc.

In the case of monochrome images (p.53), the file size will be smaller so the number of possible shots will be higher.

On the top LCD panel, you can check the remaining number of images the CF card can record.

About the RAW

The RAW assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the bundled software to obtain the desired effect.

Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW image’s white balance, contrast, etc., to create the desired image.

Note that direct printing and print ordering (DPOF) will not work with RAW images.
