• When the number of storable pictures reaches 0, the camera emits a
warning beep, the green lamp beside the viewfinder blinks and the
"CARD FULL" message appears on the monitor. The same thing occurs
the next time you switch the camera on. (P.210)
When this happens, load a new card or one that is not full. Alternatively,
erase unwanted images on the card to create free space. (P.71, 152)
Available shooting time (seconds)
• This table shows the maximum times for movies shot by pressing the
shutter button down fully once and shooting continuously. The available
shooting time shown on the control panel and monitor is the remaining
time for which you can record data on the current card.
