[] The Exposure Indicator
If a CPU lens is attached and a shutter speed other than "bulb" or "time" is selected, the
exposure indicator in the viewfinder and information display shows whether the
photograph would be under- or over-exposed at current settings. Depending on the option
chosen for Custom Setting bl (EV steps for exposure cntrl.; _ 156), the amount of under-
or over-exposure is shown in increments of 1/s EV or 1/2 EV. If the limits of the exposure
metering system are exceeded, the indicator will flash.
