1 Hold. Press and hold the AEL button to lock the exposure, see
page 44.

it a second time to cancel the lock. The lock will remain in effect

CUSTOM 10 - AF ILLUMINATOR
The built-in flash is used as an AF Illuminator. When the scene is
too dark for the camera to focus, the built-in flash fires a few short
bursts when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down to
provide the light necessary for the camera to focus.
Pressing the AF button also activates the AF illuminator. The range
of the AF Illuminator is approximately 1 to 5 m ( 3.3 to 16.4 ft.).
When an accessory flash is attached, the flash unit is used as the
AF illuminator in place of the camera’s built-in flash.
The AF illuminator will not fire in continuous AF mode or with flash
cancel. The AF illuminator may not operate with focal lengths of
300mm or longer or with 3x-1x Macro Zoom.
Custom function 10 has two settings:
1 AF Illuminator On.
2 AF Illuminator Off. An attached accessory flash’s AF illuminator
is not canceled.
