"Device memory limit" and "reserved picture memory". What should these be set at if I have a big memory card installed, and why?

Device memory is internal memory. I always have it set to the smallest number possible which is 12MB on my device,

Regardless of your card, there are certain items that can go only work with your device memory while your media card holds media.

thanks. im confused though as to what exactly these settings are doing. why would i want to set them as low as possible as opposed to as high as possible?

To free up the most memory set them at the lowest possible. I use my media card for just about everything and have not had a problem with the internal settings on the media memory.

Heck, I didn't know these were options able to be changed. Where does one view these changeable options?

Interesting. I have 5MB as an option.

Wow, thanks for the info takeshi. I also have 5MB as an option. Which is what my BB is currently set to.
