Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as
excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example,
taking a picture with the bright sky takes up most of the frame may cause
underexposure of the subject in the foreground. In such a case, compose a
shot without the bright sky, then press
(exposure) temporarily. Then compose your shot again with the bright sky in
the frame and shoot. In other words, use AE lock when you want an exposure
setting that is different from the setting that would normally apply to the image
you want to shoot.

The macro mode allows you to shoot close to the subject (within
10 cm – 60 cm (0.4 ft – 2 ft)). When the zoom lever is pressed to the
maximum W position, you can fill the entire frame with your subject.
Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject. However, in the
(macro) mode focusing is performed quickly.
If the center of the frame (within the AF target mark) is metered when you are
close to the subject and you shoot with the optimal exposure, the picture will
turn out well (Spot metering+ Macro mode).
