The Help Menu provides helpful information and tips on topics such as battery life, camera buttons, recording audio, reviewing images you have taken, and other useful topics. Use this menu when you do not have your User’s Manual with you.

Camera Status Screen

A status screen appears for a few seconds in the Image Display any time you press the Flash , MODE, or Timer/Burst buttons either

when you are in Playback or when a menu is displayed.

The top of the screen shows the

name of the current setting selected. Beneath that, icons for the current flash, shooting mode, and timer/burst settings are shown, with the icon for the button that was just pressed highlighted. The bottom of the screen shows whether a

memory card is installed (indicated by the icon), low battery indicator (see Power Indicators on page 150), the number of pictures remaining, and the Image Quality setting (indicated in the example by the 5MP).

NOTE: The status screen does not display any time Live View is on, except when the Capture Menu is also displayed. Instead, the icon for the new flash, shooting mode, or timer/burst setting displays in the Live View screen.
