Electronic Analog Exposure Displays

The electronic analog exposure displays in the top control panel and viewfinder show whether the photograph would be under- or over-exposed at current settings. De- pending on the option chosen for Custom Setting b3 (EV step), the amount of under- or over-exposure is shown in increments of 1/3 EV, ½ EV, or 1 EV. If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, the displays will flash.
