Programmed AE mode warnings
When the programmed combination of shutter
speed and aperture value Is beyond the meter
coupling range, the camera displays two warnings.
\ V I t J / / N V > 1 < /
I P ;ooo~n I 1 Both shutter speed and
aperture flickering at high values.
This indicates that the light situation exceeds
the light measuring ability since subject brightness
is extremely high. To get a proper exposure, use
another film with lower sensitivity or an ND filter.

1 pg" ~| I F?.W ] Both flickering at low
values.
The subject is extremely dark and below the
lowest limit of the Programmed AE mode's
meter coupling range. Use a higher speed film,
flash or some other illumination source to
throw more light to the subject.
Should you happen to shift the shutter dial to the
modes other than "AUTO", a flickering "E"
(Error) warning appears on the shutter speed LCD.
The shutter cannot be released even if the button
is depressed.
