Use the exposure indicator on the screen as a guide
when setting the exposure.
When the brightness of the subject is outside the
camera’s brightness metering range, the indicator
moves to the (+) end to show that the image will be
overexposed (the (+) turns yellow) or to the (–) end to
show that the image will be underexposed (the (–)
turns yellow).
