Depending on what mode your in some elements within the view finder display will flash because the camera cannot set the EV because the light is too low. For example if you have TV mode and you select a shutter speed that would cause an aperture value wider than the lens fitted the aperture value will flash to warn you that the photo will not be exposed correctly as considered by the camera. If you have the mode set to manual the camera doesn't care what settings you use as it is letting you do all the work.
Hope this helps.
