• If you press the shutter button halfway
when the exposure is not adequate, the
aperture value and the shutter speed turn
red. The aperture value and the shutter
speed blink on the Viewfinder. (They do
not blink when the flash is activated.)
• When most of the subject is bright, such
as during fine weather or snow, the
recorded pictures may become dark. In
these cases, compensate the exposure
towards positive. (P40)
• The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to
[AUTO]. (The ISO sensitivity is
automatically set to [ISO100] when you
switch from [AUTO] to Aperture-priority
AE.)
• When you use a lens with no aperture
ring, press [FUNC.1] and then rotate the
command dial to set the aperture.
