If you exceed the control range for a photography mode (as with a scene that is extremely
overexposed or underexposed), the shutter speed or aperture is displayed in red on the screen.
For dimly lit scenes, “----” is displayed on the screen as the shutter speed and aperture setting. When
this occurs, press the shutter button down halfway so that the camera takes the measurements and
displays the settings.
✽1 If you change the settings and the image is still overexposed, use the optional Adapter Ring and ND (Light
Adjustment) Filter (➡P.109).
✽2 If the image is underexposed even after you change the shutter speed, use the flash (➡P.51).
✽3 If you do not use a flash, the shutter speed will be slow and a tripod should be used.
