Depth-of-field Preview | Canon EOS Elan 7NE Body Only guide

• If the slowest shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. In such a case, turn the <l> dial to set a larger aperture value (smaller f/number) until the shutter speed display stops blinking.

• If the fastest shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. In such a case, turn the <l> dial to set a smaller aperture value (larger f/number) until the shutter speed display stops blinking.
