Checking the number of recordable 
images
Notes
• When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, the memory card is 
full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images in the current 
memory card (page 123).
• When “NO CARD” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, it means 
no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card.
The table shows the approximate number of images that can be recorded on 
a memory card formatted with this camera. The values are defined using 
Sony standard memory cards for testing. The values may vary depending 
on the shooting conditions.

the number of images that can be

using the current settings) is displayed on 
the LCD monitor.
