All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded and make of memory card.2. Maximum number of frames that can be taken before shooting stops at ISO 100. Capacity of buffer (number offrames that can be taken before buffer is full and shooting slows) is displayed in control panel. Capacity of memorybuffer drops if noise reduction is on.3. Image size applies to JPEG images only. Size of RAW (NEF) images can not be changed. File size is the total forcompressed RAW (NEF) and JPEG images.Products and brand names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.Image Quality, Image Size and Number of Available Shots (when using 1GB SD card)The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 1 GB PanasonicPro HIGH SPEED card at different image quality and size settings.Image Quality Image Size File Size6 frames6 frames6 frames6 frames6 frames6 frames6 frames6 frames6 frames6 frames23 frames100 frames100 frames100 frames100 frames100 frames100 frames100 frames100 frames54 frames63 frames72 frames65 frames71 frames76 frames72 frames76 frames78 frames82 frames133 frames233 frames503 frames260 frames446 frames918 frames503 frames867 frames1500 framesapprox. 17.2MBapprox. 15.1MBapprox. 13.6MBapprox. 14.8MBapprox. 13.8MBapprox. 13.0MBapprox. 13.6MBapprox. 13.0MBapprox. 12.7MBapprox. 12.4MBapprox. 4.8MBapprox. 2.7MBapprox. 1.2MBapprox. 2.4MBapprox. 1.3MBapprox. 0.6MBapprox. 1.2MBapprox. 0.7MBapprox. 0.3MBLMSLMSLMS_LMSLMSLMSRAW (NEF) + JPEG FINE3RAW (NEF) + JPEG NORMAL3RAW (NEF) + JPEG BASIC3RAW (NEF)JPEG FINEJPEG NORMALJPEG BASICNumber ofAvailable Shots1Number of ConsecutiveShots Available2Approved Memory CardsThe following SD memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the D80.
