minimum shutter speed that may have been set there, however, is no
longer active.
• With very little light or extreme brightness it is possible that the
available aperture range of the lens used is no longer sufficient for the
preselected shutter speed. Try setting a different shutter speed.
• The camera will generally still use correct exposure via an automatic
setting of a matching shutter speed, i.e. by "overriding" your manual
preselection. A warning symbol appears, or a warning message
regarding values below the measuring range. Correct exposure
metering will then be rendered impossible.

EXPOSURE SIMULATION

Exposure simulation only works in the Live View photo mode.
In the factory setting, the Live View screen image shows the subject in
the brightness resulting from the current exposure setting. This exposure
simulation allows the effect on the picture to be assessed before the
photograph is taken, e.g. during exposure compensation or during manual
setting of the exposure. With automatic exposure control (
other hand, the screen image will generally remain equally bright within
the relevant setting ranges.
