Exposure Indicators
The exposure indicators in the control panel and viewfinder show
whether the photograph would be under- or over-exposed at current
settings (if Lo or Hi is displayed in f or g modes, the indicators show the
amount of under- or over-exposure). Depending on the option chosen
for Custom Setting b2 (EV steps for exposure cntrl., 0 270), the
amount of under- or over-exposure is shown in increments of
1
/ EV, or 1 EV. If the limits of the exposure metering system are
2
exceeded, the displays will flash.
