Figure 1-3 shows the buttons and LCD display on the camera.

You can only switch on the camera when it is disconnected from the system.

The counter value may decrease by more than one when the picture taken has more details or colours, resulting in a bigger file size. In some cases, the counter value may not decrease even though a picture is taken.

Image counter

This shows the remaining number of pictures that you can take with the camera undocked.

This number decreases every time a picture is taken. When the counter reaches “000”, you cannot take any more pictures until you have cleared the camera’s memory by downloading or removing the existing pictures.
