One other key item, the shots remaining value, appears in the lower-right
corner of the display. This number tells you how many pictures will fit in the
space remaining on your memory card. If the number is low, grab another
card, visit Chapter 4 to find out how to erase some pictures, or pay a trip to
Chapter 5 for details on how to download photos to your computer. Chapter 2

minutes of recordings will fit.

screen so that you see your subject only, as shown on the right in the figure.

that, you can discover some another neat trick for customizing the display —
a feature that lets you magnify your view of the scene.
Enabling and disabling display styles

1. Select Custom Menu D, as shown on the left in Figure 1-19, and
