Quick menu question

Hi all —

while I think I understand all menu functions of my SL2-S, I find one detail puzzling:

In Live View, the maximum number of pictures that I can take with my SD cards is seen at the bottom right of the display (e.g., “3500). But when I slightly press the shutter button, that number changes to “L 53”. I read the camera manual again & again but can’t seem to figure out what this means.

Can someone please educate me? Thanks!
