Power shot A95

To get more pictures on the same card you will need to set the "resolution" & "compression" to a lower value. On a 32MB card if you can only take 12 pictures then the resolution is probably set to "Large" with compression "superfine". If you change the resolution to "small" with compression "normal" you could take around 330 pictures! However there is no such thing as a free lunch, the lower the resolution and compression the lower the "quality" of the pictures. So you need to think about what use the pictures are for. If they are of a wedding and you want best quality then you get fewer photos. If the quality is not so important then you can get more pictures. You can see how to set these values on page 41 of the manual (link below): http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=320&modelid=10468 Here is the table from page 147 showing the number of shots at different quality. If you want more high quality pictures then you need to get a larger capacity card. As you can see with a 512MB card you can get nearly 200 high quality pictures.

It is the setting on your camera ,if you set at (2592x1944) superfine ,you were only can take 11 picture.So if you want to take more pictures ,try set to lower resolution.
