Due to the limitation of digit counter, when the number of pictures is over
999,the LCD will show a "sec" icon together with a "000" icon.This
indicates you have taken 1000 pictures. Meanwhile, when taking the
next picture, the digit counter will start from "1" with a "sec" icon. If the
LCD shows a "sec" icon with "999", that means you have taken 1999 pictures.
