This reading may result in a significant discrepancy between the exposure in the center and exposure in the rest of the image unless you determine the exposure considering the brighthess in the whole viewfinder. 4. Press the shuttter release button lightly, and or [ ] exposure indication appears in the viewfinder. [ + ] means overexposure, [ ] means correct exposure, and [ - J means underexposure. By setting the aperture with the aperture ring and adjusting the shutter speed with the White [ + ] button or Black [ - ] button, you can determine the setting for your camera. Exposure Warning: The exposure indicators in the viewfinder blinks as a warning when a subject is too bright or too dark, or when the proper combination of the shutter speed and aperture is not selected. As long as the indicators are blinking, proper exposure cannot be obtained. If [ + ] is blinking, set the aperture ring to a smaller sized f-stop. If [ - ] is blinking, set the aperture ring to a larger sized f-stop. To set the proper exposure, adjust the aperture and shutter speed until the display stops blinking and you get the [ ] indication in the viewfinder. Use an ND filter if the [ + ] indicator does not stop blinking or a flash if the [ - ] indicator does not stop blinking even after the aperture has been adjusted. 39
