A Camera Off Display
If the camera is turned off with a battery and memory card inserted,
the memory card icon and number of exposures remaining will be
displayed (some memory cards may in rare cases only display this
information when the camera is on).
A The Built-in Flash
If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in i mode, the
built-in flash will pop up automatically when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway.
If the flash is raised, photographs can only
be taken when the flash-ready indicator (M) is displayed.
If the flash-
ready indicator is not displayed, the flash is charging; remove your
finger briefly from the shutter-release button and try again.
To save power when the flash is not in use, press it gently downward
until the latch clicks into place.
