Technical Notes / Appendix
Memory Card Capacity and Image Quality/Size
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 1GB
Panasonic Pro HIGH SPEED memory card at different image quality and size settings.
1.All figures are approximate and assume average file size; actual file size and memory card capacity
may vary with scene recorded and make of memory card.
If enough memory remains for over 999
photographs, the camera will display the number of exposures remaining in thousands (“K”); for
example, “1.5K” is shown if enough memory remains for 1,500 exposures.
2.Maximum number of frames that can be taken before shooting stops.
Actual number of frames may
vary with make of memory card.
Additional photographs can be taken as soon as enough memory
is available in memory buffer.
3.Total file size of NEF (RAW) and JPEG images.
Exposure Program (Mode P)
The exposure program for mode P is shown in the following graph.
The maximum and minimum values for EV vary with ISO sensitivity; the above graph assumes an ISO
sensitivity of ISO 100 equivalent.
When matrix metering is used, values over 16
