The electronic analog exposure displays in the control panel and viewfinder show whether the photograph would be under- or over-

exposed at current settings. Depending on the option chosen for Custom Setting b2 (EV steps for exposure cntrl., pg. 292), the amount of under-

or over-exposure is shown in increments of 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV, or 1 EV. If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, the displays will flash.
