Memory Card Capacity and Image Quality/Size
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 2 GB SanDisk Extreme III (SDCFX) card
at different image quality and size settings.
*1 All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded.
*2 Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer. Capacity of memory buffer will drop if noise reduction is
on. Drops if Optimal Quality is selected for JPEG Compression, ISO sensitivity is set to Hi 0.3 or higher, High ISO NR is on when auto
ISO sensitivity control is on or ISO sensitivity is set to 800 or higher, or long exposure noise reduction, active D-lighting, or image
authentication is on.
*3 Maximum frame rate when recording 14-bit NEF (RAW) images is 2.5 fps.
*4 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.
