How to Use Memory Lock
First
place
the
subject in
the
central
part
of the
viewfinder, or
better
still, if the subject
is
accessi-
ble,
move
in on
it to make
a close-up
reading
of
that
particular portion
you
wish to
emphasize.
Then press the
self-timer/memory
lock to the left;
the light based
o
n
the
main
subject
is now
frozen.
With
the
memory lock lever
still
pressed
to
the
left, move
back
to
get your
desired
composition
and shoot.
The shutter has been
released at the
speed on
the memorized reading. The memory
"hold"
disconnects upon releasing the finger from
the
memory lock
.

For backlit
subjects,
move up close and include dark
areas of the
subject and
freeze the
reading
