Why the number 1.1k appears on the LCD screen of my Nikon D50, intead of the pictures counter?

Question

I didn't notice when this started happening, how can I get the LCD screen to show the pictures counter? Thanks

Answer 1

Looks like the setting has been changed to 'Buffer Space'

Unfortunately, I don't know how, or how to correct it.

If you have the handbook it should be in there

I got the info from: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/NikonD50...

Scroll down to the relevant part.

You may be able to view the handbook on the Nikon website.

Answer 2

It just means you have a large amount of free space on your card (approx 1100 images) it is still the counter just not as precise

Answer 3

That is the number of pictures you have remaining. It's 1.1k or 1,100 remaining.

I assume you have a large memory card? (Say 4mb). If so, and you are shooting JPG at maybe medium or basic quality, or a smaller size, you could easily fit 1,100 pictures on the memory card.
