> dial to set a larger aperture (smaller

speed.
If the “ 8000 ” shutter speed blinks, it indicates
overexposure.

f/number) until the blinking stops or set a lower ISO

Aperture Display
The larger the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The
apertures displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to
the camera, “
00 ” will be displayed for the aperture.
A higher f/number will make more of the foreground and background fall
within acceptable focus. However, the viewfinder will look darker.
If the depth of field is difficult to discern, hold down the depth-of-field
preview button while turning the <
6
> dial.
The exposure will be locked (AE lock) while the depth-of-field preview
button is pressed.
