Exposure Warning
If the subject is too bright or too dark,
the shutter speed will blink on the status
screen and LCD panel and in the
viewfinder. When the subject is too bright, set the aperture to a
smaller lens opening (larger number), and when too dark, set the
aperture to a larger lens opening (smaller number). Once blinking
stops, 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.
