RECORDING

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.

The figures in the left are approximations only. The actual number of images depends on image subject matter.

Use the procedure under “Using the Record Menus” on page E-75 for details on changing the quality modes.

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 capacity for up to 250 images only. You will be able to 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-106).
