Canon EOS-3 manual Exposure Warnings

Aperture-Priority AE (Av): You Set the Aperture

[Exposure Warnings]

• If the 30” shutter speed blinks, it indicates

underexposure. Turn the < > dial to set a larger aperture (smaller F-number) until the shutter speed stops blinking.

• If the 8000 shutter speed blinks, it indicates

overexposure. Turn the < > dial to set a smaller aperture (larger F-number) until the shutter speed stops blinking.

CF	Custom Function CF-16 (see page 120) can enable the safety shift feature:
	If a standard exposure cannot be obtained in the aperture-priority AE mode with
	any shutter speed set by the camera, the camera automatically sets a larger or
	smaller aperture. This feature is called safety shift.

Custom Function CF-6 enables the aperture to be set in full-stop or half-stop increments instead of the standard 1/3-stop increments. See page 112.

For aperture-priority AE, Custom Function CF-5 enables the aperture to be set with the camera even while the lens is detached. See page 110.
