AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE LOCK (AEL)
• If you keep pressing the AE-lock button after taking the picture, the
exposure remains locked.
• Pressing the AE-lock button sets the flash to slow-shutter sync mode
(p. 102).
• If Custom 10-2 is selected, pressing the AE-lock button once activates
automatic exposure lock. Pressing again cancels.
Meter Index When AE-Lock Button is Pressed
The meter index displays the EV difference between the locked
exposure and the exposure for the subject area currently inside the
spot-metering area. Using the AE-lock button function, you can
compare the difference between the locked (actual) exposure and
the exposure in each part of the image. If the difference is more
than +2.3EV, that part of the picture will be washed out. If the differ-
ence is more than -2.7EV, the picture will be dark and the details
will be gone. Depending on the type of film, these values may
change. Without taking the picture, you can measure the brightness
and predict the results.
