photos in low resolution mode. The number of photos your
camera can take depends on both the resolution and the
compression you choose. Please refer to the chart below
(Fig. A) to select the correct resolution and compression for
the number of photos you want to take.

LCD” will continue to show “99” while you take pictures and the camera

button” until the “Status LCD” displays either “Lo” or “Hi”. (See
