■ Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card
The table below shows the standard number of frames for 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.
