7.8 File Size and Number of Buffered Images
The following table shows the relationship between the file size of the image and 
the maximum number of buffered images.
Note
 The following file sizes are shown at their maximum value.
*1The values shown are the file sizes when transferring to a cell phone.
The maximum number of Buffer/Transfer images
If the timer, alarm or motion detection trigger is enabled, the internal memory 
capacity is divided into the number of the triggers [maximum 5 triggers].
E.g.
At 320 x 240 pixels resolution and standard quality, the camera can buffer about 
125 frames. If each timer, alarm and motion detection trigger is enabled, the 
internal memory is divided into 3 sections. In this case, each trigger can buffer 
about 40 frames.Resolution Items Capture Favor
