2) While pressing the shutter button halfway,
press the partial metering button. (In manual
override, however, press the partial metering
button while pressing the manual aperture set
button.) A green asterisk ("*") appears in the
viewfinder.
1) Cover the main
su bject with the
partial metering
mark and press the
shutter button half-
way.
3) Compose the picture while continuing to hold
down the shutter button, then press the shut-
ter button completely to take the picture.
• You can remove
your finger from the
partial metering
button if you keep
pressing the shut-
ter button halfway.
AE lock
The original exposure value remains locked as
long as the shutter button is pressed halfway,
so even if you recompose the picture, correct
exposure on the main subject will not be
affected by changes in lighting conditions.
Use this mode, for stage photography, or when
there is a big difference in brightness between the
main subject and the background.
PARTIAL METERING
• The partial metering mode can be used
regardless of the camera's mode, except when
the main switch is set to the green mark posi-
tion (0).
• The partial metering area is approximately
6.50/0 of the picture area.
• The AE lock mechanism automatically works
in the partial metering mode.
