Basic Photography
Before shooting, turn the camera on and check the battery level and number of
exposures remaining in the information display or viewfinder (if the monitor is off,
press the
P button to view the information display; if the monitor does not turn on,
the battery is exhausted and must be recharged).
❚❚Battery Level
❚❚Number of Exposures Remaining
The information display and viewfinder show the
number of photographs that can be stored on the
memory card (values over 1,000 are rounded down to
the nearest hundred; e.g., values between 1,200 and
1,299 are shown as 1.2 K). If a warning is displayed
stating that there is not enough memory for
additional photographs, insert another memory card
(
0 21) or delete some photos (0 133).
