The Frame Counter And Memory Card Capacity - Minolta Dimage Dimage Xi Instruction Manual

The frame counter and memory card capacity

The number of images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size and type of
card and the file size of the images. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects
can be compressed further than others.

The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the memory
card at the camera's image quality and size settings. If the settings are changed, the frame counter
adjusts accordingly. Because the calculation is based on approximate file sizes, the actual image
taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one.
When the frame counter displays three red zeros and card-full message appears, it indicates no
more images at the image size and quality settings can be captured. Changing the image size or
quality settings may allow more images to be captured.
