At the same time, the shutter speed will be

While pressing the measuring button, the meter

measures continuously until it is released.

Reference:

•"E.u" (Exposure under) or "E.o" (Exposure over) appears when the combination of shutter

speed and aperture is not possible for the measured light level. Changing the shutter

speed and or aperture with the Set/change dial will allow you to find a combination that

is possible.

If the "E.u" or "E.o" readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond the

measurement range of the light meter.
