As pictures are taken, this number decreases. If "0" is blinking, it indicates that the memory is full and there is no more space for additional pictures (at any image quality mode). If "0" is lit solid, then there are still more pictures available at a lower level of quality. It is normal for the picture counter not to decrease when taking a picture. This is because the Image Quality setting did not take up sufficient memory space to decrease the remaining number counter.
