will cause the LED indication of the shutter

shutter to photograph the subject.
Visual warnings during aperture-priority AE control:
In the event light levels exceeds the shutter/
aperture coupling range, the shutter speed within
the viewfinder will be displayed in the following
manner:
W"—",r(flow-like
f- ~ I
flickering)
Should the maximum aperture be indicated, select a
smaller aperture by rotating the ring toward the
direction of its minimum aperture {f/22, etc.).
However, if the aperture displayed is the minimum
aperture (f/22, etc.), rotate the same toward the
direction of the maximum aperture (f/2.8, etc.).
When the combination reaches the shutter/aperture
coupling range by changing the f/stop, the flow-like
flickering in sequence will cease; proper exposure
has been attained and photographs can be taken
safely with this AE mode. Should the light level
exceeds the meter coupling range the shutter
speed and''F--" indication within the viewfinder
will appear as follows:
