Indicator

The indicator on the back of the camera (p. 38) will light or blink green when
images are being recorded to/read from the memory card, or during any kind
of transfer (p. 21).

the power, open the memory card slot/battery cover, shake or jolt the
camera. These actions may corrupt the image data or cause the camera
or memory card to malfunction.
