Ae Lock - Locking The Exposure Ael - Olympus EVOLT E-300 Advanced Manual

AE lock—Locking the exposure
The metered exposure value can be locked with the
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
When you lock the exposure, the metering mode (digital ESP metering, center
weighted averaging metering or spot metering) selected in the menu is
automatically applied.
