Memory Card Capacity
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on
an 8 GB SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS-I card at different image quality (0 66),
image size (0 68), and image area settings (0 63).
❚❚ DX (24×16) Image Area
❚❚ 1.3× (18×12) Image Area
1 All figures are approximate.
File size varies with scene recorded.
2 Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100.
Drops if Optimal
quality is selected for JPEG compression (0 67), ISO sensitivity is set to Hi 0.3 or higher, or long
exposure noise reduction or auto distortion control is on.
3 Figures assume JPEG compression is set to Size priority.
Selecting Optimal quality increases the file
size of JPEG images; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.
