Exposure Warning
If the subject is too bright or too dark,
the selected aperture value will blink in
the viewfinder and on the LCD panel as
warning as shown. When the subject is
too bright, choose a faster shutter
speed. If it is too dark, choose a slower
shutter speed. When the shutter speed
indication stops blinking, you can take
the picture. If both selected shutter
speed and aperture blink, it means that
the exposure is out of metering range,
unable to obtain a correct exposure
even if the shutter speed is adjusted.
Select a darker subject if the subject is
too bright. Use a flash if it is too dark.

USING THE METERED MANUAL MODE

The manual exposure mode is a convenient exposure mode
for taking pictures using the same shutter speed and aperture
setting combination, or taking creatively under or overexpo-
sured photographs.
