Locking exposure setting (AE lock)
The AE-lock button is used to take pictures using a locked exposure
metering value. This function is useful when setting exposure before
shooting a backlit subject.
1. Position the subject for which you want to set exposure, and press
the AE-lock button. The exposure is locked and remains locked
while the AE-lock button is held.
2. Keeping the AE-lock button pressed, recompose the subject and
press the shutter-release button.
A picture is taken with the exposure set when you pressed the
AE-lock button.
Note:
Exposure is not locked even if you press the shutter-release button halfway.
Setting Manual Exposure (Shutter Speed
Priority)
You can specify the shutter speed from 1 to 2000 sec., or B (Bulb)
manually. This mode is useful for fast moving subjects or when you
have little time to check focus.
To lock the shutter speed, follow the steps below.
1. Maneuver the shutter charge lever.
2. Rotate the shutter speed dial to the desired shutter speed value (1
to 2000).
Note:
To switch the shutter speed setting from auto to manual, rotate the shutter
speed dial while pressing the lock-release button.
3. Press the shutter-release button halfway. The optimal shutter speed
(i.e., optimal exposure value) blinks, and the current shutter speed
is lighted, in the viewfinder.
4. Rotate the aperture ring until the optimal shutter speed matches
the current shutter speed value. The display of the optimal shutter
speed value changes from blinking to lighted.
