Picture Storage Capacity - Internal Memory vs. Storage Card

[jeff_roey]

I have a 16 GB storage card (~ 8 GB free) in the side of my Imagio and I noticed today while fooling around with the camera settings that the "number of pictures remaining" that shows up in the upper right hand corner when you hit the menu tab is significantly less than if I have 'internal memory' selected as my save location in settings. I don't understand it. The ~ 8 GB is a good bit more free space than my internal memory. I fooled around with the enabling DCIM reg key, changing storage locations, etc. but nothing seems to affect it. Pict quality settings certainly increase the change of remaining picts but the increase is porportional across the storage card and internal memory.

Anyone else notice that setting the storage card 'caps' the number of picts or know why this is?

Thanks!
