Some cameras have a warning function in the viewfinder to indicate incorrect exposure. For instance, if the f-number or shutter speed or both of them flash in the viewfinder, then this will indicate either under- or overexposure.

Basic information concerning incorrect exposure:

•In the event of overexposure: Do not use the flash!

•In the event of underexposure: Switch on the flash unit or mount the camera on a tripod and set a slower shutter speed.

The reasons for incorrect exposure can vary in the different exposure and automatic programmes.
