Tips
•
The number of storable images listed in the table is approximate.
•
The number of remaining pictures may change according to the subject or factors such as whether print
reservations have been made.
•
The number of remaining pictures sometimes does not change even when a picture is taken or a stored
image is erased.
•
Recording sound with still pictures reduces the number of pictures you can take.
