Nikon D90 user manual Check the number of exposures remaining, Auto Meter Off, Camera Off Display

3Check the number of exposures remaining.

The exposure count displays in the control panel and viewfinder show the number of photographs that can be stored on the memory card. Check the number of exposures remaining.

If there is not enough memory to store additional photographs at current settings, the display will flash as shown at right. No further pictures can be taken until the memory card has been replaced (pg. 31) or photographs have been deleted (pp. 49, 162).

ALarge-Capacity Memory Cards

When enough memory remains on the memory card to record a thousand or more pictures at current settings, the number of exposures remaining will be shown in thousands, rounded down to the nearest hundred (e.g., if there is room for 1,260 exposures, the exposure count display will show 1.2 K).

AAuto Meter Off

At default settings, the viewfinder and the shutter speed and aperture displays in the control panel will turn off if no operations are performed for about six seconds (auto meter off), reducing the drain on the battery. Press the shutter-release button halfway to reactivate the display in the viewfinder (pg. 38).
