the built-in flash will not fire automatically. When indoors or during
low light shooting, it is recommended that you press the <

After pressing the shutter button halfway, turn the <

change the shutter speed and aperture setting combination

Shooting Tips
If the “ 30" ” shutter speed and the lower f/number
blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO
speed or use flash.
If the “ 4000 ” shutter speed and the higher f/number
blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO
speed.
Differences Between <
d
> and <
A
> (Scene Intelligent Auto)
In the <
A
> mode, many functions, such as the AF operation and metering
mode, are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots. The functions you can
set are limited. With <
d
> mode, only the shutter speed and aperture are set
automatically. You can freely set the AF operation, metering mode, and
other functions (p.274).
