If you mean the Thordur Hermannsson born on the 21st of November 1955, then I'm afraid I don't know him, since he lives on the opposite side of the country. And I'm afraid we're not very related. Our nearest common ancestors are Thorarinn Jonsson (1630 - 1699) and Halldora Thorsteinsdottir (1630

Folder size is 231 MB. It's down to the idea that some images will compress more than others based on t he image itself. It's something I didn't know about JPEG. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks list :) Cory - Original Message - From: "Jostein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well if you can vouch for all the pictures, what's the problem? :-) The predicted capacity of 57 shots is assuming that all the pics will be full size. Check the total number of megabytes for all the images. If it's more than 256 Mb, I'm at loss... Jostein - Pictures a

No, he told the camera 'supposed' to have capacity for storing 57 shots, then it actually stored 101 pix. It happened to me too, with different cards, different figures and more or less same 1:2 ratio between calculated pictures and true capacity. Dario Bonazza Keith Whaley wrote: > But, that do

Jpg compression varies depending on the content of the picture. Lots of areas of continuous tone compress far better than something with lots of detail or lots of grain/noise for example. The camera doesn't know in advance how small it will be able to make the files, so assumes that they will all
