Exposure
• The exposure compensation indicator is displayed. The exposure compensation indicator
will not be displayed when the exposure is compensated by 0.
• If the exposure compensation value exceeds the scale of the exposure compensation
indicator, the indicator will blink in the viewfinder and on the control panel. A red vw is
displayed on the left and right edges of the indicator on the super control panel.
To change the exposure adjustment interval:
j The EV step interval can be selected from 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV or 1 EV. g“EV STEP” (P. 96)
To adjust the exposure using only the dials:
j You can set the exposure compensation value without pressing F button. g“DIAL” (P. 91)
x Notes
• Exposure compensation is not available in M and A modes.
The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL/AFL button (AE lock). Use AE lock
when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally apply under the
current shooting conditions.
Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE (automatic
exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing the AEL/AFL button.
Press the AEL/AFL button at the position where you
wish to lock the metering values and the exposure will
be locked. The exposure is locked while the AEL/AFL
button is pressed. Now press the shutter button.
• Releasing the AEL/AFL button cancels AE lock.
To lock the exposure:
j You can lock the metering result so that it is not canceled
when the AEL/AFL button is released. g“AEL/AFL
MEMO” (P. 92)
If you find it difficult to press the AEL/AFL button and
shutter button at the same time:
j You can switch the functions of the AEL/AFL button and the
< button. g“A”(P.94)
To activate AE lock with a set metering mode:
j You can set the metering mode for locking the exposure with the AE lock.
