When setting the shutter speed manually, the finder will display the correct exposure, and then thedisplay will turn off after 10 seconds to conserve battery power. To provide the most accurate exposure information, intermediate exposure times are displayed.
- Exposure Compensation: ± 3 stops with click-stops at 1/3 stop intervals.
- Viewfinder LED: Display In metered automatic mode, flashing LEDs indicate full f-stop shutter speeds, while for intermediate exposure times, two shutter speeds will illuminate and flash.
- Overexposures are indicated by flashing ‘OVER’ LEDs and underexposures are indicated by ‘LT’ LEDs.
- In the metered manual mode, preselected shutter speeds are illuminated by flashing LEDs,while the correct shutter speed will blink slower. The display illuminates for only 10 sec. to conserve battery power. A low battery conditionis indicated by flashing LEDs.
- AE Lock: When the camera’s Shutter Speed Dial is set to AEL (AE Lock) the exposure information is stored in the finder.
