Tutorial-Taking Photographs 1.4 Check indicators in the control panel or monitor Before taking photographs, be sure that the battery is charged and that enough memory is available on the memory card. If the battery is low, a low-battery icon ( ) will appear in the control panel and monitor, indicating that the battery should be recharged or replaced without delay. If the icon flashes, the battery is exhausted, and no pictures can be taken until the battery has been recharged and/or replaced ( 34). Battery level indicator Control panel Monitor Number of exposures remaining The control panel and monitor also show the number of exposures remaining, or in other words the number of photos that can be taken at current settings. When this number reaches zero, you will need to insert a new memory card or delete some pictures ( 166) before more images can be recorded. It may be possible to record more pictures at a different image quality or size ( 71). 46
