Quality Settings
The camera has three quality modes: FINE, NORMAL,
ECONOMY.
• To determine the number of images that can be stored on a
memory card of a different capacity, multiply the capacities
in the table below, by the appropriate value.
• The actual number of images that can be stored in memory
cannot be specified precisely because the amount of
memory required for storage of each image differs accord-
ing to image contents.
• Numbers in parentheses are compressed image file sizes.
• Use the record menus (page E-74) to select the quality set-
ting you want.
• Note that the maximum number of images that can be
stored in a single folder is 250. Because of this, even if you
are using a card that allows storage of more than 250 im-
ages, the camera’s monitor screen will show its capacity
for up to 250 images only. You can store additional images
by changing to another folder.
• The number of images that can be recorded may differ
when you use Card Browser (page E-109).
