What does the L64 relate to?

What does the L64 on the lower right hand corner  relate to? I’ve gone through the manual, but can’t find an answer. It shows up when I half press the shutter release.

I think it may indicate number of shots available on the SD card.

You are using L-JPG format and have space for approxinately 64 remaining shots on the SD card.

I think it's the number of photos that the internal buffer has space for when shooting in continuous modes.

Not shot count (to see it you have to press the thumbwheel button). Set for RAW, not JPEGs. Bingo on the internal buffer. I accidentally set it to 4 fps. 

Thanks everyone!

L presumably means the large jpg format. Best quality, but largest files — unless you use RAW.

The camera always displays L regardless of the JPG format. I do not know whether the letter "L" ever changes.

It’s the buffer size. Set to single shot it goes away, never to return.

I have mine of 2 FPS. Slow enough to just take one shot if you only want one. But it solves some lag issues. I find it an ideal setting and can live with the L64
