D.

The shutter speed indicated by the needle in the viewfinder will depend on both the selected aperture and scene brightness.
Exposure warning signal: Should a “beep-beep” sound be emitted, note the position of the needle in the shutter speed scale. If it swings past 1/1000sec. and stays within the red zone, overexposure will result. In this case, reset lens aperture until the sound stops or the needle “drops” from the red zone; despite the sound, correct exposure is possible. If the needle is around 1/30sec. or below, the sound merely warns you that camera shake may affect image sharpness because of the slow shutter speed.

When is the exposure com pensation button © used? A. To obtain a correct exposure when the main subject is sidelit or backlit. In this case, keep the button depressed as you depress the shutter release button © the shutter speed needle “drops” by about 2 steps (i.e., from 1/250 sec. to approx. 1/60 sec.).
