Ae Lock - Olympus E-P1 Instruction Manual

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

j You can lock the metering result so that it is not
cancelled when the AEL/AFL button is released.
