File Storage

The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory and on a 256-megabyte memory card in different image modes.

Image mode	Internal memory (12 MB)	256 MB memory card
High (2592★)	5	99
Normal (2592)	10	195
Normal (2048)	17	308
PC screen (1024)	57	1025

*All figures are approximate. File size of pictures depends on scene recorded, pro- ducing wide variations in number of images that can be stored. If memory remains for more than 999 pictures, exposure count display will show 999.

Image File and Folder Names

On the memory card, pictures are identified by file names with three parts: a four let- ter identifier, a four-digit file number assigned automatically by the camera in ascend- ing order, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”). Movies are recorded as QuickTime movie files and can be played back on a computer after transfer.
