    • Based on Canon's testing standards with a 2GB card, ISO 100, and Standard Picture Style.
    • The file size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed, Custom Functions, and other settings.
    IMPORTANT
    + records both a and image with a single shot. The two images are saved to the card simultaneously. The two images will be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW). images can be viewed or printed even with a computer which does not have the camera's provided software.
