Originally posted by Digitalis wow, pentax cameras fail at math.
Looking in a recent folder my pictures vary from 13,956 KB to 20,232 KB, depending upon the subject, etc.
900 13,956KB photos and 600 20,232KB photos are pretty similar in total size.
12.5 vs 12.1 GB. I'd say that math is pretty good.
How does the camera know which photos I'll be taking? It doesn't.. So it assumes larger file size which ensures that no matter what I shoot I can trust that I'll have enough space to take the number of photos indicated. It would be folly to tell me I had room for 900 photos only to leave my pissed off when I filled my before hitting 700...
