When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus (up to nine areas) light in green (E47). B Notes on Shooting • When zooming is performed after the exposure is set, exposure combinations or aperture value may be changed. • When the subject is too dark or too bright, it may not be possible to obtain the appropriate exposure. In such cases, the shutter speed indicator or aperture value indicator flashes when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Change the shutter speed setting or aperture value. When settings such as ISO sensitivity (E45) are changed, the appropriate exposure may be obtained. C Shutter Speed The control range of the shutter speed differs depending on the aperture value or the ISO sensitivity setting (A83). E10 Reference Section
