Controlling Exposure
Auto Exposure Lock Auto Exposure Lock is used to lock the camera’s exposure values on an
off-center subject. It is available when the camera is in Manual Focus or
Continuous Autofocus mode. In Single Autofocus mode, the exposure is
locked when the lens autofocus is completed. It is recommended that you
use the AEL function with Center Area Metering mode.
1. Set the Exposure Metering mode to Center Area metering
(see page 7-7).
2. Center the subject inside the viewfinder, then press and hold the AEL
button.
3. Continue to hold the AEL button, then lightly press the Shutter button.
During AE lock, the shutter speed and aperture value displays in the
Viewfinder are locked and AEL appears.
4. Continue to press the AEL button while you compose the picture and
complete the focus operation. Then press the Shutter button to
capture the image.
NOTE: When the final subject is out of focus during the AE lock
operation, remove your finger from Shutter button, then lightly
press the Shutter button to perform a new AF.
