aperture value and shutter speed you have set are not suitable for appropriate exposure,
the ISO value indicator will blink.
The Metered Manual indicator does not appear when [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO].
When the amount of ambient light exceeds the metering range of the Metered Manual,
the Metered Manual indicator flashes.

change the shutter speed and aperture (F-value) combination without changing the set
exposure value by pressing the center button and then turning the control ring or the

[35] How to Use
BULB
You can shoot a trailing image of the movement of a subject with long exposure.
BULB is suitable for shooting trails of light, such as fireworks.
1. Set the mode dial to M (Manual Exposure).
2. Press the bottom side of the control wheel to select the shutter speed, then turn the
control wheel counterclockwise until [BULB] is indicated.
3. Press the bottom side of the control wheel to select the aperture value (F-value), and
turn the control wheel to set the value.
4. Press the shutter button halfway down to adjust the focus.
5. Press and hold the shutter button for the duration of the shooting.
As long as the shutter button is pressed, the shutter remains open.
Hint
Images shot in [BULB] mode tend to be blurry. We recommend that you use a tripod.
Note
The longer the exposure time, the more noise will be visible on the image.
After shooting, noise reduction will be done for the same amount of time that the shutter
was open. However, you cannot shoot any more while noise reduction is in progress.
