Hello jencook8 - Welcome to the Sony Forums

Could you please let me know whereabouts on the screen you are seeing this flashing text? I have been looking at the manual diagrams for this camera and it would help if you could tell me where it is appearing. If you have another camera (or a phone camera) available, would it be possible to take a photo of the screen and attach it to this forum message?

Thanks,

Simon

The flashing "M.M +/-2.=" indicates that your manual setting for exposure is above/below a +/- 2 EV range to the exposusere setting which has been metered by the camera.

Note if you change setting for aperture/shutter speed (increase SS or open aperture in your case) the EV indicator will change from a blinking "-2" to a dedicated value (e.g. -1 EV) depending on your setting.

With this feature you can always monitor and compare your manually set exposure to the one which the camera would have set in AUTO exposure mode.

Kind Regards

Michael
