Memory Card Capacity
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 128 GB 1 card at different image area, image quality, and image size settings. Actual capacity varies with shooting conditions and the type of card.

Figures are for a Sony CEB-G128 128 GB CFexpress memory card (as of December 2019).
-
Number of pictures that can be saved to memory card or stored in memory buffer varies with scene recorded.
-
Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. May drop in some situations, including when:
-
An optimal-compression (c) JPEG option is selected for [ ]
-
[
] is selected for [ ]
-
-
Figures assume a size-priority option (an option not marked with c) is selected for [ ]. Selecting an optimal-compression (c) option increases file size; the number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.
The maximum number of photographs that can be taken in a single burst can be set to any amount between 1 and 200 using Custom Setting d2 [
].
