MEMO
• When using an F or FA lens, set the lens
aperture ring to the position while
holding down the aperture-A lock button
on the lens.
Exposure Warning
If the subject is too bright or too dark,
the selected shutter speed will blink in
the viewfinder and on the LCD panel
as a warning (as shown).
When the subject is too bright,
choose a smaller aperture (larger
number), if available; when it is too
dark, choose a larger aperture
(smaller number), if available. When
the shutter speed indication stops
blinking, you can take the picture. If
both shutter speed and aperture blink, it means that the
exposure is out of metering range, unable to obtain a correct
exposure even if the aperture is adjusted. Use an ND (Neutral
Density) filter or select a darker subject if the subject is too
bright. Use a flash if it is too dark.
