Table 1.1 shows the typical number of shots you can expect using 12-bit color depth
and an 8GB memory card. (Hold down the QUAL button [the bottom button in the
column to the left of the back-panel LCD] and rotate the main command dial to change
the file/formats in column 1, and rotate the sub-command dial to change the image
sizes in columns 2, 3, and, 4.) The current file format appears in the top-panel mono-
chrome LCD along with the number of exposures possible with the current memory
card.
At this point, your camera is set up and ready to shoot. You can move on to Chapter 2,
where I show you how to make basic settings.
