•When the subject is too dark or too bright, it may not be possible to obtain the appropriate exposure with the set shutter speed. In such cases, the shutter speed indicator blinks when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another shutter speed and try again.

•At shutter speeds of 1/4 second or slower, “noise” may appear in the image in the form of randomly spaced, brightly colored dots. In such situations, the shutter speed indicator turns red. Setting Long exposure NR (A103) to On is recommended.
