flash
in
the
viewfinder
to
serve
as
guides
for setting the correct exposure.
Shutter Speed First: Set the desired shutter speed with the
shutter speed control pushbuttons. If the “OVER” LED still
flashes, stop the lens down to a smaller aperture (i.e., 1/5.6 to 1/11,
1/16, etc.) until it goes out. If the "UNDER" LED remains lit,
set the lens to a wider aperture (i.e., f/5.6 to f/2, {/1.4, etc.).
Exposure is correct when the shutter speed and the "M" LED
are the only LEDs that remain lit in the viewfinder.
