■ Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card / internal memory

The table below shows the standard number of frames for internal memory or a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the
camera. The larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the
number shown here. Also, the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may
decrease by 2 or may remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
