Rotate the control dial to display the Exposure Meter. Unsuitable areas of the range are displayed in red.

If the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed turn red and blink when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

We recommend using a tripod when the shutter speed is slow.

Not available in these cases:

When the flash is activated, the fastest shutter speed that can be selected is 1/50th of a second. (P203)

When the electronic front curtain shutter is used, shutter speeds faster than 1/500th of a second cannot be set.

When the electronic shutter is used, shutter speeds slower than 1 second cannot be set.
