The exposure count displays in the control panel and
viewfinder show the number of photographs that
can be stored on the memory card.
Check the
number of exposures remaining.
If there is not enough memory to store additional
photographs at current settings, the display will flash
as shown at right.
No further pictures can be taken
until the memory card has been replaced (pg. 31) or
photographs have been deleted (pp. 49, 162).
A
Large-Capacity Memory Cards
When enough memory remains on the memory card to record a
thousand or more pictures at current settings, the number of
exposures remaining will be shown in thousands, rounded down
to the nearest hundred (e.g., if there is room for 1,260 exposures,
the exposure count display will show 1.2 K).
A
Auto Meter Off
At default settings, the viewfinder and the shutter speed and aperture displays in the control
panel will turn off if no operations are performed for about six seconds (auto meter off),
reducing the drain on the battery.
Press the shutter-release button halfway to reactivate the
display in the viewfinder (pg. 38).
The length of time before the exposure meters turn off automatically can be adjusted using
Custom Setting c2 (Auto meter-off delay, pg. 179).
A
Camera Off Display
If the camera is turned off with a battery and memory card inserted, the
frame count and number of exposures remaining will be displayed (some
memory cards may only display this information when the camera is on).
