The number of images you can save depends on the type of memory card you are using. • Snapshot and movie recording capacity values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual capacity depends on image contents.
• File size and data rate values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual values depend on the type of image being shot. • When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a percentage of 1GB. • A single movie shoot with the "For YouTube" scene can have a maximum file size of 2048MB or a recording time of up to 10 minutes.
