Maybe the limit is how many shots can be buffered in the stage before conversion to JPEG, not how many can be buffered between JPEG conversion and eventual write to the memory card. The K10D shows "24" when set to best-quality JPEGs, but in fact it is capable of shooting JPEGs until the memory card fills up if you have a fast enough card. On that camera, though, the number does change (from "24" to "6") when changing from JPEG to JPEG+RAW(DNG). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
