[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 612611, member: 3903"] If your metering (CWM) was in a shadow and your shutter speed was close to 1/4000, it's possible that when you recomposed the CWM moved in a bright area. This (if you were in A mode) would cause the shutter speed to go to a faster speed and 1/4000 being the fastest, it would then flash. Now, there might (I never checked) be a menu item that would prevent you from taking a picture when the shutter speed faster than 1/4000 is required... I know I've seen the flashing shutter speed number to but was never prevented to take the shot, but there might be something in the menu preventing the accidental overexposure. Maybe, this could be your culprit. You could try to replicate the incident and then try to replicate it again but with a much lower iso number so that you'd stay under the fastest shutter speed when you recompose.
