[Exposure Warnings]
Custom Function CF-16 (see page 120) can enable the safety shift feature:
If a standard exposure cannot be obtained in the aperture-priority AE mode with
any shutter speed set by the camera, the camera automatically sets a larger or
smaller aperture. This feature is called safety shift.
Custom Function CF-6 enables the aperture to be set in full-stop or half-stop
increments instead of the standard 1/3-stop increments. See page 112.
For aperture-priority AE, Custom Function CF-5 enables the aperture to be set with
the camera even while the lens is detached. See page 110.
