AE LOCK
The camera will fix and memorize the exposure value whilst the “AE” Lock
button is depressed. When you wish to lock the exposure of a subject
off-center, AE lock is very useful. Use of this function with Spot Metering
Mode is recommended.
1
Center the subject inside the viewfinder, then
press the shutter button “Half-way”.
2
Keep shutter button “Half-way” depressed,
and then push the
button. (While
operating the AE lock, the displays of the
shutter speed and aperture value in the
viewfinder are locked and “AEL” is visible).
You can release the shutter button.
3
Hold the button while you compose the
picture. Then press the shutter button to take
the picture.
■ When the subject is out of focus during AE lock operation, remove your finger
from shutter button and press the shutter button “Half-way” again, or remove
your finger from the AE lock button and restart from the beginning.
