The number of images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size of the card and the file size of the images. One memory card can contain images with differing sizes and quali- ties. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others.

Camera Notes

The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the mem- ory card at the camera’s image quality and size settings. If the settings are changed, the frame counter adjusts accordingly. Because the counter uses approximate file sizes, the actual image taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one. When the frame count- er displays zero, it indicates no more images at the image size and quality settings can be cap- tured. Changing those settings may allow more images to be saved to the card.
