speed and aperture settings or taking intentionally underexposed (darker)
or overexposed (brighter) photographs.

Exposure Warning
If the subject is too bright or too dark,
the sensitivity will blink on the status
screen and LCD panel and in the
viewfinder. In such situations, change the shutter speed and
aperture. When the 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.
