• The number of storable images may vary depending on the subject, shooting
conditions, shooting mode and SD Memory Card, etc.
When the number of storable images exceeds 500, captured images are
divided into folders containing 500 images each. However, in Exposure
Bracketing, images will be stored in the same folder until shooting is
completed, even if the number of images exceeds 500.

With the a, you can record in the versatile JPEG format or the high

record up to 48 images in both PEF and DNG formats.
