Image quality and size together determine the file size of photographs taken with the camera. This in
turn determines how many photographs can be stored on a single memory card. The number of
images that can be stored on 8 MB, 16 MB, 64 MB, and 96 MB cards at different combinations of image
quality and size is illustrated in the following table:
