Notes:
• Long exposure times can be associated with very heavy picture
noise.
• Following exposures with slower shutter speeds (below approx.
1
⁄
30
s, differing depending on other menu settings) a data pro-
cessing procedure takes place to reduce this annoying phe-
nomonen that takes the same time as the exposure. This dou-
bling of the “exposure” time can be significant at longer
exposure times, and must be allowed for. During this time the
camera should not be turned off.
At shutter speeds of more than 2s, the message
Noise reduction
12s 1
appears in the monitor.

Time data is an example
Values above and below the metering range
If the exposure meter reading is below its working range in very low
lighting conditions and in manual mode, the left hand triangular
LED ( ) flashes as a warning in the viewfinder, while the right hand
LED ( ) does the same if there is too much light. In aperture priori-
ty mode, the shutter speed is still displayed. If the required shutter
speed is longer than the slowest possible or shorter than the fast-
est possible, these displays also flash. As the exposure is metered
with the working aperture, this situation can come about by stop-
ping down the lens.
