AF/AE Lock
On the FinePix50i, when you press the shutter button down halfway, the focus and exposure
settings are fixed (AF/AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is off to one side of the image
or if you want to set the exposure before you compose the final shot, lock the AF and AE settings
and then compose and shoot your picture to get the best results.
