I was using spot metering,
trying to take photos of the moon. However it wouldn't do it all the time. It said the photo was underexposed. I am wondering if it was just the spot metering?

To the OP, are you sure you did not see the blinks when you were in another setting besides M?
Nope, I have never moved it off manual mode. It was all the settings blinking. I was using spot metering, taking photos of the moon, so it was saying it was underexposed. I played with the exposure to what the camera registered as correctly metered and it would be fine, then start doing it again. My camera was on a tripod, and I didn't adjust anything except to try to get it to stop blinking.

Maybe I have got it - but not sure, I just was trying to recreate the issue. It does blink with the lens cap on, so maybe it was so dark outside, it thought the lens cap was on?
No matter what other setting I put it on, it didn't blink (I was holding it in a room, with cloudy daylight, and setting it to be severely underexposed and no blinking occured)
