    • Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon's testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style) using a 2GB card. These figures will vary depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, etc.
    • The maximum burst applies to high-speed continuous shooting. Figures in parentheses apply to an Ultra DMA (UDMA) 2GB card based on Canon's testing standards.
    IMPORTANT
    • If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be captured in both types at the selected image-recording quality. The two images will be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension JPG for JPEG and CR2 for RAW).
    • Whenor is selected, the LCD panel will display.
