Storage Capacities of Memory Cards
Storage Capacities of Memory Cards
The following table lists the number of images an 8 MB, 16 MB, and 32 MB CompactFlash memory
card can store, depending on the JPEG quality level or TIFF setting at which the camera is set.
Note:
To make the most memory available on a
memory card, reformat the card either on the
camera (using the Format Card option in the
Preferences menu
−
see page 76), or through
the computer (using USB Disk Drive mode,
reformat the card as you would a disk drive
−
see page 77).
The number of images noted in this table are averages. In particular, the number of images per
memory card can vary based on the JPEG compressed file size of each image.
