Exposure Warning

If the subject is too bright or too dark,

the aperture value will blink in the status screen and viewfinder. If the subject is

too bright, choose a faster shutter

speed. If it is too dark, choose a slower shutter speed. When the aperture value indication stops blinking, you can take a picture with proper exposure.

Use a commercially available ND (Neutral Density) Filter if the subject is too bright. Use a flash if it is too dark.

Using the c(Aperture Priority) Mode

Set the aperture value for controlling the depth of field. The depth of field is deeper and the front and back of the focused object is clear when the aperture is set to a large value, a small lens opening. The depth of field is shallower and the front and back of the focused object is blurred when the aperture is set to a small value, large lens opening.

The shutter speed is automatically set to the proper exposure depending on the aperture value.
