Ae Lock - Olympus E-1 Reference Manual

AE lock

The metered exposure value can be locked with the
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
and AF lock functions can be customized on this camera.
