Info displayed in R2A/R3A viewfinder

I was wondering about the info displayed in the R2A/R3A viewfinder: How is underexposure or overexposure indicated when in manual mode? Is it only with the suggested shutter speeds or does it also contain those classic meter symbols (left arrow, dot, right arrow) like the R2 does?

Is it more cluttered than the R2?

you see red shutter speed number on the bottom in the viewfinder. Number blinks until meter decides on the correct exposure..then the number stops blinking. Not cluttered IMO

But in manual mode (not AE): Do you see the arrows and dot that you see in the R2 for example?

No, the suggested shutter speed lights up and you make your adjustment moving a little LED mark to match the exopsure you want.

Oops, here is the description by Steve Gandy.

"LED Shutter Speed readout from 1 to 2000 at the bottom of the finder. On manual exposure, the chosen shutter speed dial is lit, while the suggested shutter speed blinks. "

You adjust until only one speed is lit.
