The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum movie length flashes while images are being recorded or while a movie is being saved. Do not open

the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an

indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.
