Tutorial—Basic Photography

1	.3	Check the number of exposures remaining
		The exposure-count display in the top con-
		trol panel shows the number of photographs
		that can be taken at current settings. When
		this number reaches zero, the	icon will

ﬂash in the top control panel and a ﬂashing icon will appear in the viewﬁnder. No further pictures can be taken until you de- lete pictures or insert a new memory card. You may be able to take additional pictures at lower image quality or size settings.

The Monitor Cover

A clear plastic cover (the BM-3 LCD monitor cover) is provided with the camera to keep the monitor clean, and to protect the monitor when the camera is not in use or when you are transporting the camera. To re- move the monitor cover, hold the camera ﬁrmly, take the cover by its edges, and pull the bottom of the cover gently outwards as shown at right (). Once the cover is unlatched, you can move it slightly away from the monitor and then remove it as shown ().

To replace the cover for shooting or storage, insert the two projections on the top of the cover into the match- ing indentations above the camera monitor (), then press the bottom of the cover until you hear it click into place ().

Camera Off Display

If the camera is turned off with a battery and memory card inserted, the frame count and number of exposures remaining will be displayed (some memory cards may only display this information when the camera is on).
