Memory Card Capacity and Image Quality/Size

The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 512MB Panasonic Pro HIGH SPEED memory card at different image quality and size settings.

1.All figures are approximate and assume average file size; actual file size and memory card capacity may vary with scene recorded and make of memory card. If enough memory remains for over 999 photographs, the camera will display the number of exposures remaining in thousands (“K”); for example, “1.2K” is shown if enough memory remains for 1200 exposures.

2.Maximum number of frames that can be taken before shooting stops. Actual number of frames may vary with make of memory card. Additional photographs can be taken as soon as enough memory is available in memory buffer.

3.Total file size of NEF (RAW) and JPEG images.

Exposure Program (Mode P)

The exposure program for mode P is shown in the following graph.

F(lens focal length)55mm 135mmF>55mm F>135mm

Shutter speed

The maximum and minimum values for EV vary with ISO sensitivity; the above graph assumes an ISO sensitivity of ISO 200 equivalent. When matrix metering is used, values over 171/3EV are reduced to 171/3EV.
