• Before taking pictures, be sure that the battery
power is sufficient and that enough memory is
available on the memory card. If the battery is low, a
M icon (A) will appear in the monitor, indicating
that the battery should be recharged or replaced
without delay. If the message “WARNING!!
BATTERY EXHAUSTED” appears in the monitor, the
battery is exhausted, and no pictures can be taken
until the battery has been recharged or replaced
(p. 44).

• The monitor also shows the number of exposures remaining, or in other words
the number of photos that can be taken at current settings (B). When this number
reaches zero, you will need to insert a new memory card or delete some pictures
(p. 164) before more images can be recorded. It may be possible to record more
pictures at a different image quality or size (p 103).
