Exposure warning signal: Should a
"beep-beep"
sound be emitted, note the position of the needle in the
shutter speed scale. If it swings past
1/1000sec.
and stays within the red zone, overexposure will result. In
this case, reset lens aperture until the sound stops or the needle
"drops"
from the red zone
;
despite the
sound, correct exposure is possible. If the needle is around
1/30sec.
or below, the sound merely warns
you that camera shake may affect image sharpness because of the slow shutter
speed.
You either read-
just aperture until the sound
stops,
or, if the needles is below
1/30sec.,
use a tripod to prevent picture
blur.
The meter remains switched on for a brief period even after
your
finger is lifted off the shutter
release
button.
Notes:
1.
At approximately 1/1000sec. or
1/30sec.,
a shrill
sound
may be
emitted; it
becomes regular when the
needle goes beyond these points.
2. It
is
possible you won't hear the waming sound in noisy shooting
situations.
