Shutter Speed and Aperture Setting Displays
If you exceed the control range for a photography mode (as with a scene that is extremely
overexposed or underexposed), the shutter speed or aperture is displayed in red on the screen.
For dimly lit scenes, "----" is displayed on the screen as the shutter speed and aperture setting. When
this occurs, press the shutter button down halfway so that the camera takes the measurements and
displays the settings.
