Number of Exposures Remaining
-
When the camera is on, the shooting display and control panel show the number of photographs that can be taken at current settings.

When memory cards are inserted in both slots and the default option—[]—is selected for [], the camera will record pictures first to the card in the slot chosen using [] (the primary slot), switching to the card in the remaining slot (the secondary slot) when the card in the primary slot is full.
-
If two memory cards are inserted, the camera will show the number of additional photographs that can be recorded to the card in the primary slot. When the card in the primary slot is full, the display will show the number of exposures remaining on the card in the secondary slot.

Values over 1000 are rounded down to the nearest hundred. For example, values between 1500 and 1599 are shown as 1.5 k.
