• All these warnings are displayed by the flickering of LEDs in the viewfinder. • "Beyond the metering range" means the subject is too bright or too dark to be measured with the camera's built-in meter. • "Beyond the coupling range" means the combination of shutter speed and aperture is beyond the limit of use even when the subject's brightness is within the metered range. • For details on the metering/coupling ranges, refer to page 40. • The symbol in the table indicates flickering. When the warning indicates beyond-the-metering-range/beyond-the-coupling- range, the shutter speed flickers as fast as four times per second. When the brightness of the subject is beyond the metering range, take pictures in the following ways: • When the subject is too bright, use an ND filter locally available. • When the subject is too dark, it is necessary to use a flash or some other lightings. 39*
