Understanding the LEDs on the Camera
Understanding the LEDs on the Camera
Your camera has several LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that light solid or blink to indicate that certain
actions are occurring within the camera, or particular problems may have occurred while you were
performing a particular task with the camera. This section describes what these LEDs are and how
they behave.
Viewfinder LEDs
The LEDs on the right side of the viewfinder (see Figure 10) display either a green light, red light, or
both, indicating either the focus status, flash status, a memory card problem, or that the camera is
processing an image and is not ready to take a picture.

Behavior
Green (Top)
Indicates focus status
Lights solid when the shutter release button
is pressed halfway down to indicate that the
picture is ready to take.
Blinks when the camera cannot focus on the
picture subject.
Red (Bottom)
Indicates flash status
Lights solid when the shutter release button
is pressed halfway down to indicate that the
flash is charged and ready to fire.
Blinks when the shutter release button is
pressed halfway down to indicate that the
flash is charging.
Both
Indicate a memory
card problem, or
that the camera is
processing an image
and is not ready to
take a picture
In the event of a full or missing memory card,
both LEDs blink when you press the shutter
release button halfway down. In this case,
000 will also blink on the status LCD.
In the event of a bad or unformatted memory
card, or when the camera is processing an
image and is not ready to take a picture,
both LEDs blink when you press the shutter
release button halfway down.
