Using the AE/AF button
NOTE:  For rapid setting changes, see page 40.
AE/AF lock mode  Description 
 (default) Exposure setting is independent of pressing the Shutter button. This 
allows for creative compositions and exposure situations. Retains the 
settings and prevents someone from accidentally changing them.
Use focus lock to obtain exact focus subject and situations where AF 
may not work. Allows for creative compositions and focus situations. 
Examples:
Low-contrast scenes: subject is wearing clothing that is the same 
color as the background.
Patterned subject or scene: building windows, subjects with 
horizontal stripes, animal in a cage, person in a forest, etc.
Extreme differences in brightness within the framing marks: light is 
in the background and main subject is in shadow.
 /  Use when you want to control both exposure and focus independent 
of pressing the Shutter button.
