20D Picture Counter

Where in/on the Canon 20D do you get the info on how many captures you have taken with your camera?

TIA

Lynn

If you haven't loaded a CF card from another camera in there, and if you never reset the frame counter, and if you aren't concerned about remote captures where the file was written only to the computer, it's a combination of the file and folder numbers. File number for the first 9999 shots, then add 10000 for every hundred starting at folder 200.

Thank you Jon

I've noticed on my 20D (and also on a Pentax *ist D) that the LCD "picture counter" always under reports the number of pictures I can get on the compact flash card.

Does anyone have an explanation for this phenomenon?:p

The "frames left" is a guesstimate based on your ISO setting and how large a typical photo will be at your current resolution/compression settings. If you take pictures that can be compressed more than "typical", you'll get more than the counter indicates.

Also the complexity of the image will effect the file size... Images with loads of fine details like tree leaves and loads of flowers take up more MB than a shot of a deep blue sky...
