AE Lock
The AE Lock mode locks the exposure value for precise exposure metering.
With the AE Lock mode, you can precisely meter a subject detail that is not
located in the center of the viewfinder, and cope with high-contrast subjects
and backlit situations when used in combination with exposure compensation.
· If you cannot get close to the subject, it is recommended that the Exposure
Metering User Setting mode be set to spot metering for optimum AE lock
results.
1. Make sure that AEL (AK Lock) is selected for the Preview/ AE Lock User
Setting mode as described above.. "AEL" is displayed on the LCD panel in all
modes except the Exposure Metering User Setting and ISO User Setting
modes when AE lock is selected.
2. Bring the camera as close to the subject as necessary so that the exposure
will not be affected by the background. (Fig. 68)4www.butkus.o rg
