      That is showing that frame 9 is ready to take (assuming you’ve just wound on the lever). It will show even numbers with a dot between them for the odd numbers, because there’s not enough space to show every number. If you press the shutter and advance the lever, it will also advance the number in the window to 10. This is how you know how many pictures you have taken on the film.

        For what it’s worth I usually get 37 images from my Canonent. Which is slightly annoying as my scanner takes 18 at a time. You’ll definitely know when you’ve got to the end of the roll as the lever won’t move

          I feel your pain! My scanner does four strips of six, and it’s the same problem.

          The amount of exposures you get is determined by the roll of film you put into the camera. Common amounts of film are 24 and 36 exposures, with a bit of leeway depending on how much leader you use when loading the film.
