Selecting the Focus Mode How Much Space is Left on my CF Memory Card—
Confirming the Number of Exposures Remaining
60
Shooting Mode
The total number of images that can be saved on a CF memory card
depends on the amount of space left in the CF memory card being
used, and on the selected Image quality and size.
To confirm the number of exposures remaining, check the Control
panel and Monitor.
• The counter showing the number of exposures remaining decrements until “0” is
displayed after which no further space is available. At this point, a warning
indication OUT OF MEMORY is displayed in the Monitor.
• The approximate number of images that can be recorded is as follows.
Memory card: 16MB [64MB] (Note that the numbers will vary significantly with the
composition of the pictures due to the way that JPEG compression works.)

Notes: The number of exposures remaining
• From time to time the number may not count down when shots are taken or
deleted, particularly if the Image size is small.
• Even when “0” is shown, selecting another Image quality or size may enable
more shots to be taken as there may be enough space for one or more images
of a smaller size or higher compression ratio. By the same token, changing the
Image quality or size may cause the frame counter to drop to “0”.
• No more shots can be taken when the image file names and folder numbers
(p. 128) reach the maximum number (image file name: DSCN9999.JPG, folder
number: 999). To continue, change the memory card or delete all of the image
data on the card. Note that with the setting Seq. Numbers On, file names are
assigned with the next highest number remaining in the memory card, so
when a file with a high file name number is left in the memory, the maximum
number, DSCN9999.JPG, will soon be reached and no more shots can be
taken even if more memory is available on the card.
Shooting Mode
In or mode, three Focus modes and the Self-timer can be
activated in turn by repeated presses of the Focus mode button. In
mode, rotating the Command dial while pressing the Focus mode button
initiates Manual focus and alters the manual focus distance (p. 81)
Press the Focus mode button repeatedly until the indication for the
desired Focus mode or Self-timer is shown. (Note that an indication
is not displayed in the Autofocus mode.)
