Memory Card Indicators and Number of Exposures Remaining

The top control panel and viewfinder show the number of additional photographs that can be taken at current settings (i.e, the number of exposures remaining).

  • The top control panel shows the slot or slots that currently hold a memory card (the example shows the icons displayed when cards are inserted in both slots).

  • At default settings, [Overflow] is selected for [Role played by card in Slot 2] in the photo shooting menu. When two memory cards are inserted, pictures will first be recorded to the card in Slot 1, switching to Slot 2 when the card in Slot 1 is full.

  • If two memory cards are inserted, the camera will show the number of additional photographs that can be recorded to the card in Slot 1. When the card in Slot 1 is full, the display will show the number of exposures remaining on the card in Slot 2.

  • Values over 1000 are rounded down to the nearest hundred. For example, values in the vicinity of 1400 are shown as 1.4 k.

  • If the memory card is full or a card error has occurred, the icon for the affected slot will flash.
