AThe Exposure Indicator

If a CPU lens is attached and a shutter speed other than “bulb” or “time” is selected, the exposure indicator in the viewfinder and information display shows whether the photograph would be under- or over-exposed at current settings. Depending on the option chosen for Custom Setting b1 (EV steps for exposure cntrl.; 0 156), the amount of under- or over-exposure is shown in increments of 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV. If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, the indicator will flash.
