Shutter-speed priority AE mode: "32" blinks
regardless of the minimum aperture of the lens
in use. Choose a faster shutter speed until the
display stops blinking . When using a lens whose
minimum aperture is f / 22 or f / 16, even when
"32" does not blink, turn the shutter speed
selector dial until a number equal to or smaller
than the lens' minimum aperture is displayed.
