File Storage
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in
internal memory and on a 256-megabyte memory card in different image modes.
Image mode Internal memory (12 MB) 256 MB memory card
High (2592
★
) 5 99
Normal (2592) 10 195
Normal (2048) 17 308
PC screen (1024) 57 1025
TV screen (640) 123 2200
* All fi gures are approximate. File size of pictures depends on scene recorded, pro-
ducing wide variations in number of images that can be stored. If memory remains
for more than 999 pictures, exposure count display will show 999.
Image File and Folder Names
On the memory card, pictures are identifi ed by fi le names with three parts: a four let-
ter identifi er, a four-digit fi le number assigned automatically by the camera in ascend-
ing order, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”). Movies are recorded
as QuickTime movie fi les and can be played back on a computer after transfer.
