Taking Pictures With Ae Lock - FujiFilm FinePix S5 Pro Owner's Manual

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.
A Set the exposure mode other than
(➝p.70).
B Set the metering selector to
spot metering.
Matrix metering is not recommended since the effect of
the AE lock cannot be effectively attained.
C Position the focus area over the subject you want
correctly exposed, press and hold the shutter button
down halfway and then press AE-L/AF-L.
Confirm that the in focus indicator (l) appears in the
viewfinder.

center-weighted or
MEMO
• While AE lock is in effect, exposure will not be changed
by changing the frame. Also, AE-L indicator will appear
in the viewfinder.
• In spot metering, exposure will be locked at the value
metered in a 3-mm (0.12 in.) circle centered on the
selected focus area. In center-weighted metering,
exposure will be locked at the value metered in an 8-
mm (0.31 in.) circle at the center of the viewfinder.
• Depending on the option selected, AE-L/AF-L locks
both focus and exposure (the default setting), only
focus, or only exposure. Options are available for
keeping exposure locked until AE-L/AF-L is pressed a
second time, the shutter is released, or exposure
meters turn off.
D Keeping AE-L/AF-L pressed, recompose the
photograph and shoot.
MEMO
• While AE-L/AF-L is being pressed, the following
operation can be performed:
- When exposure mode is
- When exposure mode is
- When exposure is : Changing Aperture
The new shutter speed and exposure values are
displayed in the exposure display after the change.
• Rotating the metering selector to another setting does
not change the metering system during AE Lock
operation. Release the AE lock.
