Checking the Picture Counter
The large number in the lower right of the status display panel shows how many additional pictures you can take.
This number is affected by the image quality setting. Also, if you have any video clips or audio recordings stored on your memory card, the number on the status display panel may be greater than the actual number of remaining pictures.
When the memory card is full, the number on the status display panel reads 0 , the status light on the back of the camera flashes red, and you can no longer use the shutter button. Before you can take any more pictures, you must either delete some of the images or transfer them to your computer system.

Red-eye Reduction
Use this setting to eliminate the red-eye effect (the reddish reflection of the flash off of your subjects pupils).
Slow Synchronized Flash
To light up the background as well as your subject, use the leading slow synchronized flash mode when taking pictures at night. Or, use the trailing slow synchronized flash mode setting for capturing motion. This option causes the aperture to stay open longer, allowing more light to enter the camera. See your User’s Guide to change this flash setting to leading or trailing.
