About Indicator Needles
With the needle indicator on the top of the camera, you can check the
current status of the following four factors: the number of remaining
photos, photo quality, remaining battery power, and white balance.
The current statuses are indicated by 4 needles on the indicator.
Note:
When the needle indicator needs to be adjusted, you can calibrate the needles
manually. For details, see “Calibrating Indicator Needles” on page 29.
The number of remaining photos
The long needle on the top of the meter indicates the number of
remaining photos (0 to 500). When an SD card is not installed in the
camera or an error occurs, the needle indicates E.
Note:
Although “500” is shown on the meter as the maximum number, the actual
maximum number of remaining photos is 999.
Photo Quality
The short needle on the right-side of the meter indicates the photo
quality setting. The current photo quality setting is indicated as N
(Normal:
2240 × 1488 pixels), H (High: 3008 × 2000 pixels), or R
(CCD-RAW) on the scale.
Remaining battery power
The short needle on the bottom of the meter indicates the remaining
battery power. The current battery level is indicated on the scale from
E (Empty) to F (Full).
White balance
The short needle on the left-side of the meter indicates the white balance
setting. The following icons indicate the current white balance settings.
