question: D70s

I just recently bought a Nikon D70s. And have a few questions on it.

First, right above the battery charger bar in the upper left hand corner
of the top screen, it says ISO AUTO, and keeps blinking when I attempt
to push the button down to take a picture.

2nd, in the lower right hand corner, where it says the number of
exposure you have left, as soon as I attempt to push the button down to
take a picture, it changes to a lower bracket sign and O4, then after
firing, it goes back to the number of pictures left.

A bit confused

-maybe some clues for you:

Sounds like low light conditions, perhaps turn off auto-ISO and adjust
when you know it's needed. Or at least understand that if the shutter
gets below (1/60?) the ISO starts to go up increasing noise.

My D70 reports "r04" as you describe, I don't know what it means.

The number of remaining pictures in the buffer, page 63 in the manual.
