When the images recorded using other Sony devices are played back, the image size indication may be different from the actual image size.

When the images are viewed on the LCD screen of the camera, they all look the same size.

Number of shooting images can differ from these values according to shooting conditions.

When the remaining number of images recordable is more than 9999, “>9999” is indicated.

You can resize the images later (Resize function, see page 69).
