About Indicator Needles

With the needle indicator on the top of the camera, you can check the
current status of the following four factors: the number of remaining
photos, photo quality, remaining battery power, and white balance.
The current statuses are indicated by 4 needles on the indicator.
Note:
When the needle indicator needs to be adjusted, you can calibrate the needles
manually. For details, see "Calibrating Indicator Needles" on page 32.
The number of remaining photos
The long needle on the top of the meter indicates the number of
remaining photos (0 to 500). When an SD card is not installed in the
camera or an error occurs, the needle indicates E.
Note:
Although "500" is shown on the meter as the maximum number, the actual
maximum number of remaining photos is 999.
