1 All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded.

2Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Drops if Optimal quality is selected for JPEG compression (0 67), ISO sensitivity is set to Hi 0.3 or higher, or long exposure noise reduction or auto distortion control is on.

3Figures assume JPEG compression is set to Size priority. Selecting Optimal quality increases the file size of JPEG images; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.
