METERING MEMORY LOCK
For composition reasons, it can be beneficial not to have the main
subject in the center of the picture. In such cases, the metering
memory lock function - in
P, T and A exposure modes, and with AF
single field and spot metering modes - enables the main subject to
be metered first and the relevant settings retained until you have
determined your final trimming and take the picture.
Taking a picture with this function:
1.
Aim the relevant AF frame at the part of your subject to which
you want to adjust the focus and exposure
2.
Press the shutter button (8) to the first pressure point to set and
store the focus and exposure
3.
Continue holding the shutter button half way and move the
camera to determine the final trimming
4.
Push the shutter button all the way down to take the photo
Note:
You can save any number of exposure locks before taking the picture.
