Using the Status LCD
Figure 2: Status LCD Indicators The status LCD conveys important information about the camera’s status. The status LCD shows you
the status of the camera’s batteries, the settings for the flash mode, timer mode, and auto focus
range, as well as the number of pictures remaining on the memory card (see Figure 2).
The status LCD turns on every time you power on the camera. You can use the status LCD to assess
the current status of the camera, and to change the flash mode, timer mode, and auto focus range
settings when preparing to take pictures.
