Q3 in shooting mode displays remaining capacity in bottom right corner. But when shutter is half pressed, number is changed f.e. I can see something like "L  61".
What it means? Is it something with buffer, or what? Thanks for explaining. I did not find it in the manual.

With new card, the remaining shot number is displayed, when half pressed, the number displayed goes away.  Nothing in its place.  Button released; number reappears.  When the capacity is over 1K, it just shows the same number, it does not count down, until it gets below 999.  I think.  I have been using smaller cards.  Hope some of that was helpful.

I looked today during continuous shooting, the number always decreases by 1, maybe it's the buffer, AFC, firmware 1.2

It's the remaining number of shots available in the buffer. See page 120 of the user guide:

"• The buffer memory of the camera only allows a limited number
of frames in series and in the selected exposure frequency. The
exposure frequency is reduced, once the capacity limit of the
camera's buffer memory is reached. This slow-down is due to
the time required to transfer the data from the buffer memory to
the card. The remaining number of exposures is displayed at the
bottom right"

The buffer capacity for Large Raws is 63, which explains why you are seeing around about that figure.
