•The number of storable images may vary depending on the subject, shooting conditions, shooting mode and SD Memory Card, etc.

When the number of storable images exceeds 500, captured images are divided into folders containing 500 images each. However, in Auto Bracketing, images will be stored in the same folder until shooting is completed, even if the number of images exceeds 500.

When the File Format is RAW

With the X, you can record in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and editable RAW format. For RAW file format, you can select PENTAX’s original PEF format or general-purpose DNG (Digital Negative) format designed by Adobe Systems. On a 2 GB SD Memory Card, you can record up to 58 images in either PEF or DNG format.
