■Standard number of shots for the media
Because the amount of data needed to record an image varies slightly depending on the type of subject, the number of
available shots may not decrease after an image is recorded, or may decrease by 2 in some cases. Also, the difference
between the standard number of shots and the actual number of available shots increases for media with a higher capacity.

!
See P.78-79 for information on changing the number of
recorded pixels/Quality (compression ratio) setting.
