AE Lock

Normally the camera automatically meters the focus and the exposure when you half-

press the shutter button and locks the AF (automatic focus) and AE (automatic exposure)

at the same time. However, you can lock the exposure by pressing the

button

before pressing the shutter button.

If you press the shutter button with the button depressed, only AF is performed

and the exposure does not change.

Conversely, if you press the button with the shutter button half-pressed, the focus

is fixed and you can adjust the exposure.

The exposure is held only as long as the

button is depressed and released as

soon as the button is released.

Point the camera at the subject for

which you want to set the

exposure.

Press the button.

Keep the button pressed down. While the

button depressed, the exposure setting will

not change. When the exposure is locked,

the AEL mark appears in the viewfinder.

If you half-press the shutter button while

holding down the button, automatic

focus also operates.

With the button still pressed

down, take the picture.

You can continue to take other pictures at

the same exposure, as long as you keep

the button pressed down.

When the shutter button is half-pressed

When you press the button, the exposure setting selected by half-pressing the shutter button

is canceled and the exposure selected with the button press is used. On the other hand, if the

button is released, then exposure changes as metered automatically with a half-press on the

shutter button.
