Adjusting The Exposure - Nikon DS-L4 Instructions Manual

8.1.2

Adjusting the Exposure

(1) Using the AE lock
If the exposure mode is [P] (program AE) or [F] (focus-priority AE), after determining the exposure in the desired region of
the subject, you can lock the exposure.
Use this function when you want to observe the specimen constantly at the same exposure level or when the subject's
region you want to observe is much brighter or darker than other regions.
1 In the LIVE menu, make sure that the exposure mode is
[P] (program AE) or [F] (focus-priority AE).
Note: The AE lock function is unavailable in [M]
(manual) exposure mode.
2 Position the metering area at the target position, and then
tap [AE LOCK].
The current exposure is locked. The [AE LOCK] button is
framed in yellow, and "OFF" disappears.
To release the AE lock, tap [AE LOCK] again.
Automatic release of the AE lock
The AE lock is released when the DS-L4 is turned off. The AE lock is also released when the exposure mode is
changed in the [CAMERA MENU] screen.
