A Electronic Analog Exposure Displays
The electronic analog exposure displays in the control panel and
viewfinder show whether the photograph would be under- or over-
exposed at current settings.
Depending on the option chosen for Custom
Setting b2 (EV steps for exposure cntrl., pg. 292), the amount of under-
or over-exposure is shown in increments of
1
/3 EV,
1
/2 EV, or 1 EV.
If the
limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, the displays will
flash.
If the camera is unable to achieve optimal exposure at the shutter speed
or aperture selected in mode f or g, q or r will be displayed in the
control panel and viewfinder, and the electronic analog exposure display
will show the amount by which the image will be under- or over-exposed.
