AE lock

The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL/AFL button (AE lock). Use AE lock
when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally apply under the
current shooting conditions.
Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE (automatic
exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing the AEL/AFL button.
Press the AEL/AFL button at the position where you wish
to lock the metering values and the exposure will be
locked. The exposure is locked while the AEL/AFL button
is pressed. Now press the shutter button.
• Releasing the AEL/AFL button cancels AE lock.
TIPS
To lock the exposure:
j You can lock the metering result so that it is not canceled when
the AEL/AFL button is released. g"AEL/AFL MEMO" (P. 91)
If you find it difficult to press the AEL/AFL button and
shutter button at the same time:
j You can switch the functions of the AEL/AFL button and the <
button. g"A" (P. 92)
To activate AE lock with a set metering mode:
j You can set the metering mode for locking the exposure with the
AE lock. g"AELMetering" (P. 95)
