Note: To make the most memory available on a memory card, reformat the card either on the camera (using the Format Card option in the Preferences menu − see page 68), or through the computer (using USB Disk Drive mode, reformat the card as you would a disk drive − see page 69).
Storage Capacities of Memory Cards
The following table lists the number of images an 8 MB, 16 MB, and 32 MB CompactFlash memory card can store, depending on the JPEG quality level or TIFF setting at which the camera is set.
The number of images noted in this table are averages. In particular, the number of images per memory card can vary based on the JPEG compressed file size of each image.
