If the appropriate aperture value is beyond the range of the lens in use, due
to the subject being too bright or too dark, the aperture value indicator will
blink. If the subject is too bright, set the shutter speed to a faster one, or if
the subject is too dark, set the shutter speed to a slower one, until the
indicator stops blinking.
