How do you tell how much film you have left in a minolta St si Maxxum camera?

I just got a new camera today and i have no idea how to figure out how much film i have left. Any help? I put new film and and have been taking a few pictures to try it out.|||There is a frame counter on the camera. It may be on the top or on the back up under the film advance lever.





If you don't have the Owner's Manual you really need to get a copy.|||You can see how many pics you have shot in the LED display on the top of the camera.


In the bottom right corner of the display you see the film symbol and a number over it. That number indicates how many pics you have already shot.


Depending on the total number of frames of your film (12 or 24 or 36) you can calculate how many shots there are left.





If you don't have the package of your film anymore you can have a look at the little window at the camera back. You can see a small part of the film canister through it. Something like 200/24 or 400/36 or similar should be visible the number behind the slash is the total number or frames of that film.


The film symbol on the LED display looks approx. like that:


O____


THe number should read above the "line"
