[97] How to Use
Using shooting functions Adjusting the exposure
AE lock
When the contrast between the subject and background is high, such as when
shooting a backlit subject or a subject near a window, meter the light at a spot
where the subject appears to have the appropriate brightness and lock the
exposure before shooting. To reduce the brightness of the subject, meter the light
at a spot brighter than the subject and lock the exposure of the entire screen. To
make the subject brighter, meter the light at a spot darker than the subject and
lock the exposure of the entire screen.
1. Adjust the focus on the spot at which the exposure is adjusted.
2. Switch the AF/MF/AEL switch lever to the AEL position, then press the AEL
button.
The exposure is locked, and (AE lock) lights up.
3. Keep pressing the AEL button and focus on the subject again, then shoot the
picture.
Keep holding the AEL button down while taking a shot if you want to
continue shooting with the fixed exposure. Release the button to reset the
exposure.
