the designation appears in the viewfinder,
signifying "proper exposure".
Intentional "over exposure" or "under exposure"
for special effects to enhance the photographic
subject is possible by adjusting the exposure
within the range of the ±3 steps. Then, having
completed your own exposure determination,
release the shutter to take the photograph.
Visual warnings during Metered manual mode
Excessive "over/under exposure" will be Indicated
in the viewfinder in the following manner:
(flow-like
flickering)
The flickering of "03" in sequence indicates that the
exposure will render an over exposure exceeding
-!-3 steps; that of "-3", an under exposure
exceeding —3 steps.
Adjust either the shutter speed towards 1/1000 or
rotate the aperture ring in the direction of the
minimum aperture (F22). When an under exposure
indication appears, set the shutter at a slower speed
toward the direction of 15", or change the
f/stop by rotating the ring In the direction of the
maximum aperture {f/2.8, etc.).
Once the exposure amount display falls within
the range of ±3 steps, the flow-like flickering in
sequence will cease; photographing may then be
commenced.
If the photographic situation exceeds the meter
coupling range, the following display will appear:
