C Number of Images That Can Be Saved • The approximate number of images that can be saved can be checked on the screen when shooting (A21). • Note that due to JPEG compression, the number of images that can be saved may vary greatly depending on the image content, even when using memory cards with the same capacity and the same image mode setting. In addition, the number of images that can be saved may vary depending on the make of the memory card. • If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposures remaining display shows "9999." 105 Using the Menu The Shooting Menu (The Common Shooting Options)
