Q: Why is my iPhone's available storage different in iTunes?

I have a 16 GB iPhone 5s. My phone shows that I have 660 MB of storage left, but when I sync to iTunes, iTunes shows an available 1.9 GB on my phone. Additionally, my phone shows 4.8 GB used by photos and videos, whereas my iTunes states only 740 MB is used up.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3
