Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera
ILCE-9M3 α9III
Number of recordable images
When you insert a memory card into the camera and turn the camera on, the number of images that can be recorded
(should you continue to shoot using the current settings) is displayed on the screen.
Note
When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in orange, the memory card is full. Replace the memory card with another
one, or delete images from the current memory card.
When “NO CARD” flashes in orange, it means no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card.
If the
(Warning) icon or the (Malfunction) icon is displayed, there is something wrong with the memory card. Replace
the memory card with another one.
