The lines in the scene frame roughly divide the
recorded pixels into three parts horizontally and
vertically. When the image is printed, the resulting
print may be shifted slightly from the scene frame.
Scene
Use this frame when you want to position your
main subject in the center of the frame or when
you want to align your shot with the horizon.
This feature provides a clear guide to the
subject size and the overall balance of the shot
so that you get exactly the shot you want.

✽ Number of available shots displayed on the camera for a new xD-Picture Card formatted in the camera.
Number of Available Frames
■ Standard number of shots per xD-Picture Card
Because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available shots may not
decrease when recording ends, or may decrease by 2 frames. The discrepancy between the standard number of
available shots and the actual number of available shots increases in proportion to the capacity of the xD-Picture Card.
The number of available shots is displayed on
the LCD monitor.
