Chapter 1: Getting the Lay of the Land 29

The viewfinder data changes depending on what action you’re currently

undertaking and what exposure mode you’re using. For example, if you set

the Mode dial to P (for programmed autoexposure), you see the current

f-stop (aperture setting), shutter speed, exposure compensation setting, and

ISO setting, as shown in Figure 1-14.

Figure 1-14: You also can view some camera information at the

bottom of the viewfinder.

The final value (9, in the figure) shows you the number of maximum burst

frames. This number relates to shooting in the Continuous capture mode,

where the camera fires off multiple shots in rapid-fire succession as long

as you hold down the shutter button. (Chapter 2 has details on this mode.)

Note that although the highest number that the viewfinder can display is

9, the actual number of maximum burst frames may be higher. At any rate,

you don’t really need to pay attention to the number until it starts dropping

toward 0, which indicates that the camera’s memory buffer (its temporary

internal data-storage tank) is filling up. If that happens, just give the camera

a moment to catch up with your shutter-button finger.

Rather than give you a full guide to all the possible viewfinder readouts

here, which would only boggle your mind and cause lots of unnecessary

page-flipping, I detail the relevant viewfinder data as I cover the various

photographic topics later in the book.
