Exposure Warning

If the subject is too bright or too dark,
the aperture value will blink in the
viewfinder and on the LCD panel. If the
subject is too bright, choose a faster
shutter speed. If it is too dark, choose a slower shutter speed. When
the aperture value indication stops blinking, you can take the picture
with proper exposure.
If both the shutter speed and aperture value are blinking, this
indicates being out of metering range and the proper exposure
cannot be obtaind even if the shutter speed is adjusted.
Use an ND (Neutral Density) filter if the subject is too bright.
Use a flash if it is too dark.
