Taking Photographs—Beyond Point-and-Shoot
Making Effective Use of Memory: Image Quality and Size
Together, image quality and size determine how much space each photograph
occupies on the memory card. This in turn determines the total number of
photographs that can be stored. To get an idea of how different settings for
image quality and size affect the number of images that can be stored on a
memory card, view the following table, which shows the approximate num-
ber of photographs that can be stored on 32 MB, 64 MB, and 96 MB cards at
different combinations of image quality and size.

Confirming the Number of Shots Remaining
The number of photographs that can be stored on a memory card varies with
the composition and type of card; the numbers given above are an approxi-
mation only. Confirm the number of exposures remaining in the control panel
and monitor before shooting.
