Default Limitations for Photographic Memory

How much should (Episodic Memory Only) and (Semantic Memory only) cost?

In game terms, how would either of those work?

It's difficult to explain, but Episodic Memory is predominantly sensory and Semantic memory is abstract and systemic. Put succinctly, Semantic Memory retains quiddity whereas Episodic memory is concerned with haecity.

I think Photographic Memory (Episodic memory only should be -40% and Semantic should be -60%. Because Episodic clarity is much more useful and adventures.
