Big Numbers in Bracket F 5.6 (1999) next to Aperture On 5D MK iii

[Hamzzz]

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed something unusual on my Canon camera’s top LCD screen. Next to the aperture value (f/5.6), it displays "(1999)", which I haven’t seen before.

The camera works fine—I can take and view pictures without issues.

It’s not a lens problem because I’ve tested multiple lenses.

I’ve reset all settings but the issue remains.

Firmware is up to date.

The camera is set to One Shot AF mode, and other settings seem normal.

Has anyone encountered this before? Is it related to a specific setting or display option? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

It’s displaying the estimated number of shots remaining on the memory card.  “1999” is the highest number it can display.

Do you have the manual for your camera?  It has pictures of the displays showing what everything is.
