Note:
| - |
The same image (Olympus' standard image) is used to calculate the number of storable pictures and file size in each mode. |
| - |
The number of storable pictures depends on the image quality and the type of memory card. |
| - |
The number of storable pictures in this table differs from the number of remaining pictures displayed on the LCD. This table shows the approximate number, but the camera shows the maximum (up to 9999). |
