Reference-Advanced Photography Making Effective Use of Memory: Image Quality and Size Together, image quality and size determine how much space each picture occupies on the memory card. This in turn determines the total number of pictures that can be stored. To get an idea of how different settings for image quality and size affect the number of images that can be stored on a memor y card, view the following table, which shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on 8 MB, 16 MB,64 MB, and 96 MB cards at different combinations of image quality and size. Note that the number of pictures that can be stored at each combination also varies according to their composition (detail, number or colors). 8 MB Card 16 MB Card FULL XGA VGA FULL XGA VGA FINE 8 19 48 16 39 97 NORMAL 16 37 88 32 76 177 BASIC 32 71 161 63 144 324 64 MB Card FULL XGA VGA 96 MB Card FULL XGA VGA FINE 66 159 390 99 238 585 NORMAL 131 306 709 196 459 1064 BASIC 256 578 1301 383 867 1951 96
