Remaining Exposures (Continuous Mode)
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in continuous mode, the number of consecutive photographs that can be taken before the buffer fills is displayed in the control panel on top of the camera. This indicator shows nine when the buffer is empty, and is reduced by one for each photograph in the buffer. Note that depending on the amount of memory remaining on the memory card, the maximum number of photographs that can be taken in a single sequence may be less than nine. In single-frame mode, this indicator shows the number of exposures remaining.
