    • These values are measured according to Canon standards and may change depending on the subject, memory card and camera settings.
    • Table values are based on images with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Changing the aspect ratio see Camera User Guide will enable more shots, because less data is used per image than for 4:3 images. However, with [ ], 16:9 images have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which requires more data than for 4:3 images.
