Finally I purchase a Ricoh GR II such a great camera, I'm a learning how to use my camera by reading guides and the manual as well. I noticed that when I am focusing I get an icon on the screen that I don't know what it means, I tried to look on the manual but I don't see it anywhere. I hope you guys can help to figure it out, here is a link of it:

Without looking for the manual, I'd guess that icon is warning you that your shutter speed will be slow enough to risk shake-induced blur. In other words, the shot you're about to take is not suitable for hand-holding, and you are likely to get a blurry image from the camera moving too much.

Oh so that's what it means, because I tried looking into the manual but I don't see anything in reference to that

Yup, looks like a slow shutter speed warning.
