following notation is used:

The reciprocal is used for shutter speeds from 1/4000 second to 1/3 second. 125 is
1/125 second.

denote whole seconds. 1”5 is one and a half seconds and 15” is fifteen
seconds.

About Shutter Speeds

If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed and
aperture range, the shutter speed and aperture displays blink.
In bright conditions, use a neutral density filter on the lens, set
a lower camera sensitivity (ISO), or, if using artificial lights,
reduce the intensity of the illumination. In dark conditions, use
the built-in flash or increase the camera sensitivity (ISO).

If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed range, the
shutter-speed display blinks. Adjust the aperture until the
display is steady.

If the required exposure is beyond the aperture range, the
aperture display blinks. Adjust the shutter speed until the
