If the “8000” shutter speed and the minimum aperture blink, it indicates overexposure. Lower the ISO speed or use an ND filter (sold separately) to reduce the amount of light entering the lens.
Page 108: S: Shutter-Priority Ae
s: Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the correct exposure suiting the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action or moving subject. Or a slower shutter speed can create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion.
Page 109 Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from “8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, “125” indicates 1/125 sec. Also, “0"5” indicates 0.5 sec. and “15"” is 15 sec. s: Shutter-Priority AE If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure.
Page 110: F: Aperture-Priority Ae
f: Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/ number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
Page 111: Depth-Of-Field Preview
Aperture Display The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The apertures displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture. Depth-of-Field Preview A higher f/number will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
