YELLOW LED - SLOW EXPOSURE/CAMERA SHAKE WARNING When the shutter speed drops below 1/60 sec., although exposure will be correct, the slightest movement of the camera - even . vibration from pressing the shutter button - often produces "camera shake" at the critical moment of exposure; this in turn will • cause blurred pictures. The LEDs between "30" and "4S" illuminate in yellow to warn against camera shake. If a YELLOW LED lights, • • first try a wider lens aperture (i.e., f/5.6 to f/2.8, f/1.7, etc.) to see if a GREEN LED will appear. If the GREEN LED doesn't light before • you reach the widest lens aperture, do either of the following: 0 • Shoot at the fastest possible shutter speed indicated by a YELLOW LED, but brace the camera on a firm surface: better still, use a tripod - to minimize camera shake (page 51) or, ()switch to flash (page 52-53) I RED "UNDER" LED - UNDEREXPOSURE When light is extremely limited, the RED LED beside the "UNDER" indication at the bottom of the scale glows to warn you against underexposure. If this LED lights, first try setting the lens to its widest aperture (f/2, f/1.4, etc.). If a GREEN LED lights, go ahead and shoot. If a YELLOW LED appears, follow the procedure outlined in "YELLOW LED - SLOW EXPOSURE" above. If the RED "UNDER" LED remains lit even at the widest aperture: 0 make a time exposure using a tripod at the "B" mode setting, or switch to flash (page 52-53). 500 250 125X I 1000 500 250 605X 30 1a 5 4 2 1 2S 4s UNDER 41 •

the
following:
Shoot
at
the
fastest
possible
