Buffer full warning

Frame counter

Drive- mode indicator

When a large amount of image data is captured in a short span of time, the camera’s internal buffer memory becomes full. Time must be given for this data to be written to the memory card.

Depending on the battery power level, the frame counter or drive-mode indicator turns yellow on the monitors (see chart). Wait for the indicator to turn white before capturing more images.
