Shutter Speed Display
You can set the shutter speed in half-stop increments as shown below. The shutter
speeds from “
” to “ ” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed, so
that— for example— “ ” is 1/125 second. For slow speeds, “ ” is 0.7 seconds and
“ ” is 15 seconds.
Shutter-Priority AE
•
If the lens’ maximum aperture (lowest f/number like f/3.5) blinks, it indicates underex-
posure.
Turn the <
> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture display stops
blinking.
•
If the lens’ minimum aperture (highest f/number like f/22) blinks, it indicates overexpo-
sure. Turn the <
> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture display stops
blinking.
