Using The Self-Timer - Casio QV-30 Owner's Manual

• The image number appears in
the upper right corner of the
LCD. It indicates the number of
the next image that will be re-
corded. The number 21, for ex-
ample, indicates that there are
20 images in memory, and the
next image will be number 21.
• To clear the image number from the LCD, press the DISP
button again.
Note
• Note that turning display of the image number on and off in the
Record Mode also affects the display of the memory page number

in the zoom operation (page 41). If you turn display of the image
number off in the Record Mode, for example, the memory page
number will not be shown in the Playback Mode.
Exposure Warning Indicators
Exposure warning indicators appear on the LCD whenever the light
being picked up by the lens would result in under exposure or over
exposure of an image.

Operation
Use the procedure described on page 27 to change the aperture or
change the lighting of the image so the indicator disappears from the
LCD.
Important!
• The exposure warning indicators also appear when lighting is out-
side the range of the camera. In such a case, changing the aperture
will not clear the indicator from the LCD.
