When the Ev scale indicates 0, the locked exposure shown in the shutter-speed and aperture displays is the same as the exposure determined by the meter.

The metered exposure is one stop less (–) than the locked exposure.

The arrow indicates the metered exposure is two and a half stops more (+) or less (–) than the locked exposure.

The blinking arrow indicates the metered exposure is three or more stops greater

(+) or less (–) than the locked exposure.

ABOUT SLOW SYNC.

When using flash, pressing the AEL button activates the slow-sync. function. This gives the same effect as the night portrait subject program (p. 27) which balances the ambient light exposure with the flash exposure so the background is recorded with the subject.

When the AEL button is pressed and held, the ambient light exposure is determined and the flash exposure is based on the locked aperture setting. The affect of slow sync. is only apparent in low-light conditions. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow- sync. exposures.
