• If a memory card is not inserted, C is displayed to indicate that images will be saved
in the camera’s internal memory (approximately 42 MB).
• The number of exposures remaining depends on the remaining capacity of the
internal memory or memory card, and the image quality and image size (image
mode) (A61).
