Bulb Photography ( "

" )
Bulb photography is useful when you want to take pictures with any shutter speed. You should
use a tripod to keep the camera steady because the shutter stays open for as long as the
shutter button is held down.
Images shot with long exposures (1 second or longer) may appear coarse and may also be
affected by noise such as white dots.

TAKING PICTURES WITH AE LOCK

AE lock allows you to set the exposure for a specific subject in your shot. This technique is
useful when brightness of your subject differs greatly from its surroundings.

CSM 5: Auto Exposure Lock can be set to be activated by lightly pressing the shutter
release button (➡P.97).
CSM 9: The operation performed when the "AE-L/AF-L" button is pressed can be modified
(➡P.97).
Operation: AF/AE lock (default setting), AE lock only, AF lock only, AE lock maintained, AF
operation
Rotate the metering system selector to select
Centre-Weighted or Spot Metering.
h Matrix Metering is not recommended since the
effect of the Auto Exposure Lock cannot be
effectively attained.
Position the focus area over the subject you
want correctly exposed, press and hold the
shutter button down halfway and then press the
"AE-L/AF-L" button. The "EL" (exposure lock)
indicator appears in the viewfinder.
h The exposure and focus are locked as long as
the "AE-L/AF-L" button is held down (default
setting).
h If you press the "AE-L/AF-L" button in the AF-
S or AF-C focus mode when the shot is not in
focus, the exposure is locked with the shot out
of focus. Always check that the "G" focus
indicator is lit.
While keeping the "AE-L/AF-L" button pressed,
recompose, focus and shoot.
h Because the settings are maintained after you
take the shot for as long as the "AE-L/AF-L"
button is held down, you can keep the same
settings as you recompose the shot.
h The following functions can be operated while
the "AE-L/AF-L" button is kept pressed:
1. In "P" exposure mode: Sets program shift.
2. In "S" exposure mode: Changes the shutter
speed.
3. In "A" exposure mode: Changes the aperture.
h Rotating the metering system selector to
another setting does not change the metering
system during Auto Exposure Lock operation.
Release the AE lock.
