Frame Counter
A separate numbering system is provided by the Nikon N90s camera. Its
frame counter appears in brackets near the right edge in the viewfinder
indication area and on the Nikon N90s LCD on top of the camera. These
numbers go up by one as each picture is taken. After reaching number 99,
the image reference numbers cycle back to 1, 2, etc.
This frame counter is displayed with each image in the software driver
image window.
The camera is ready for shooting as long as you see a frame counter in the
viewfinder and on the Nikon N90s LCD on top of the camera. If no value
is displayed, the camera is not ready — perhaps the battery is low or the
card is full. Additionally, the frame counter disappears for several seconds
while image data are moved from memory in the camera to the PCMCIA
card. When the frame counter reappears, the camera is ready for shooting.
