BNote on B(Shutter-Priority Auto) Shooting

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.
