- The values in the table are measured according to Canon standards and may change depending on the subject, memory card and camera settings.
- The values in the table are based on 4:3 aspect ratio. If the aspect ratio is changed, more images can be shot because the data size per image will be smaller than with 4:3 images. However, since () 16:9 images have a setting of 1920 x 1080 pixels, their data size will be larger than 4:3 images.
