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!

When the image is finished writing to the card, and the red light goes off, does it change back to a number?

Maybe this shows how many images are on the card?

Nope, number doesn’t change after I take some pictures. The mystery deepens!🤔

“L 54” (sometimes L 53) is only visible when I half-press the shutter button.
