EV Bar
The EV bar appears in the LCD panel
and viewfinder in a (Hyper-manual)
mode. The appropriate exposure is set
when V is in the middle of the EV bar. If
it is towards –, it is underexposed. If it is
towards +, it is overexposed. If the value exceeds the range of the EV
bar, the "+" or "–" blinks.
Exposure Warning
If the subject is too bright or too dark, "+"
or "–" in the EV bar will blink in the
viewfinder and on the LCD panel.
