only be taken into account when the lens aperture ring is used to set
aperture.
A Exposure Indicators
The exposure indicators in the viewfinder and top control panel show
whether the photograph would be under- or over-exposed at current
settings. Depending on the option chosen for Custom Setting b2 (EV
steps for exposure cntrl, 0 313), the amount of under- or over-
exposure is shown in increments of
1
/3 EV,
1
/2 EV, or 1 EV. If the limits of
the exposure metering system are exceeded during viewfinder
photography or live view, the exposure indicators and the shutter speed
(modes e and g) and/or aperture (modes e and f) displays will flash.
