⑦Remaining exposure counter

This counter does not show number of exposed frames but shows number of remaining frames. When the camera is con- nected with a personal computer, “PC” appears in this indica- tor.

⑧Sandglass mark

This sandglass mark blinks in a camera operation that it takes a considerably long time to finish, for example, picture data writing on a CF card or picture data transfer to a personal com- puter, etc.

While this sandglass mark is blinking, the camera cannot otherwise be operated.

⑨Card status indicator

This indicator is on when the CF card cover is closed with a proper CF card set inside. This indicator goes out when the CF card cover is opened or a CF card is removed from the cam- era.

※When the remaining exposure counter shows “Err” and all other indicators appearing on the indicator panel are blinking, there is an error in camera control. On such an occasion, refer to “Error message”.
