Just starting to use my new D7100
When I press the shutter button to focus the shot, the lower righthand corner of the viewfinder shows this symbol [r 09]
Does anyone know what that means?
Thanks

It means that your cameras buffer has room for 9 more images at the current camera settings.

Thanks, I thought it might be an error message.

The R09 is because you are shooting in jpg basic, if in Raw it would be R03 etc. (not really sure it is the number of shots available in the buffer, because the buffer in Raw is "supposed" to hold 6. but may be a representation of buffer size. JPG normal R09 Jpg fine R04 Jpg Normal RO5, jpg basic R04, Raw + Fine R03. Raw + Normal jpg R03 and Raw + Basic is R03. So this isn't the number of shots but a representation of the buffer level. (just checked my D7100 by going through them all. lol.

Somewhat related questions... If the display indicates the number of "slots" remaining in the buffer, does the camera only write to the card when the buffer is filled? And, if that's true, what happens when the camera is turned off? Do the pictures stay in the buffer or are they written before the camera is shutdown? And, if they stay in the buffer, can they be lost somehow?

I can't seem to find this in the manual anywhere. Thanks for the answer.

The camera generally writes to the card all the time, it does not wait until the buffer is full. I don't know if a particular camera stays on long enough to write the images to the card from the buffer, but I'm not going to do the experiment with my camera.

What the buffer size on the D5100?
The D5100, D7000 and D7100 all share the same buffer. This has long been the nagging issue with the D7100 when the sensor was increased to 24MP over the D5100/D7000 16MP sensor, yet the buffer size was not increased.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (am still getting to know my D7100), but if you shut down while the camera is writing to a card, you lose the buffer.
There's a green light on the back of the camera that flashes when the card is in use.
If you turn off the camera while that's flashing data is lost. I did anyway, just as an experiment. (I reformatted the card after checking just in case I had corrupted it, or something).
The camera won't shut down automatically while writing to the card.
Cheers

I believe that you are correct, the camera is pretty smart, but humans being humans we can always find ways to out do things designed to help us. The battery can be pulled while the camera is still trying to write. If there is a way for a human to mess up a good design, we can always find it.
