Estimate image file size from resolution, bit depth and compression ratio before shooting or exporting.
实际大小因图像内容而异。
⚠️ Unit-basis notice: this page uses 1 MB = 1024×1024 bytes (binary, MiB), while storage-card vendors label capacity as 1 GB = 1000 MB (decimal) — about 7.4% apart. When cross-checking "shots × file size" against card capacity, pair this with the card-capacity estimator (decimal basis) to avoid mixing bases.
| Item | Formula / Rule | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Uncompressed size | Bytes = pixels × bit depth ÷ 8 × channel count | ISO 12234-2:2001 Electronic still-picture imaging — TIFF/EP |
| Compression factor | Lossless 14-bit RAW lands at 0.5 to 0.7 of raw size, while JPEG at quality 90 is near 0.1 | ISO/IEC 10918-1 JPEG standard |
| Metadata overhead | Thumbnails, XMP and maker notes add another 0.2 to 2 MB | ISO 12234-2:2001 Electronic still-picture imaging — TIFF/EP |
