crazzy88ss Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I traded in my D90 for a D3300 for my wife to use as her work/travel camera. Is there no way to check the status of the battery/photo count? Am I stuck with the basic 3-step indicator on the main info screen? Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazzy88ss Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 So... do you know that the answer is in that video or did you just simply link the video? I've looked through the actual user manual and haven't found anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazzy88ss Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 crazy! you are alive!!! and married?!!? Ummm not quite? I am engaged, though! I posted a link for you ?Here is the screenshot: ? ? I'm not sure what I'm looking for in that photo. I guess I'll try and watch that video in the background or something. 40 minutes is a big chunk of time. Do you happen to remember roughly where in the video that screen shot is from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 You said you were looking for battery status? If so, look at the green icon in camera screen in upper right hand corner as shown above. And you were looking for the picture count? If so, it is located in brackets in lower right hand corner. Other way to check battery status, look through the eyeviewer (which is located above the camera display screen) and see info at the top or bottom of the viewer. The screenshot was not from the video.. I got it from Google Images. The video is used as video-based user manual which you can learn about D3300.

crazzy88ss Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Ok, I guess I didn't explain it well enough. On My D90/D600, you can check "Battery Info" in the menu, and it shows the EXACT percentage along with the number of photos taken on the battery, or each battery if you have the grip + another battery installed. I know you're trying to help, but the explanation you provided was for somebody who's never owned a camera lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Oh battery info! Like this: Is that you meant? Then 3300 don't have that.. not all cameras have that... I don't have that screen...I think that info screen is on high end cameras ( I could be wrong) only on main screen like I told you in a few posts up. Just battery level, and post count. I am sorry, I thought you were not able to find the status on the screen.. I was pointing them out where they are located in the screen. I know you were not new to the camera.. I have seen your pictures in the digital lab thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you did say wife in the OP so OH lol. I've been doing that. It's only 2 months to go at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. They should put that on all cameras but I understand they do whatever they want to do with their cameras. I have D5000 .. I don't have it.
