Memory Card Capacity and Image Quality/Size
The following table shows the approximate number of photographs that can be recorded
on a 1GB memory card at different image quality and size settings
1
.
All figures are approximate; actual file size and memory card capacity may vary with scene
recorded and make of memory card.
1 When Panasonic PRO HIGH SPEED memory card is used.
2 All figures are approximate and assume average file size.
3 Maximum number of photographs that can be taken before shooting stops. Actual number of frames
may vary with make of memory card. Additional photographs can be taken as soon as enough memory
is available in memory buffer.
4 Combined NEF (RAW) and JPEG file sizes.
Exposure Program (Mode P)
The exposure program for mode P is shown in the following graph.
The maximum and minimum values for EV vary with ISO sensitivity; the above graph
assumes an ISO sensitivity of ISO 100. When matrix metering is used, values over 16
1
/3 EV
are reduced to 16

/3 EV.
