The control panel and monitor also show the number of exposures re-
maining, or in other words the number of photos that can be taken at
current settings. When this number reaches zero, you will need to in-
sert 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).
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 de-
lay. If the icon flashes, the battery is exhausted, and no pictures can be
taken until the battery has been recharged and/or replaced (
34).
