• If the selected shutter speed would result in the picture being over- or underexposed, the shutter
speed display will flash when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another shutter
speed and try again.
• At speeds slower than 1/4 second, the shutter speed indicator will turn red to show that noise
reduction (A126) is recommended to reduce "noise" in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly
