Notes About Image Quality
This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A68).
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 quality and image size settings. 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."
