NUMBER OF AVAILABLE FRAMES

I Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card

The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The
larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available frames and the
number shown here. Also, because the amount of data recorded for a shot varies depending on the subject, in some cases
the number of shots may decrease by 2 or may remain the same. As a result, the actual number of recordable shots may
either decrease or increase.
