3. AE lock is automatically cancelled after the Shutter Release Button is pressed for the
exposure.
* To cancel AE lock without taking a picture press AE Button a second time.
* For a continuous exposure series under similar conditions all requiring the use of AE lock, you
may wish to adjust your exposure using the exposure compensation feature instead.
27. EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Any camera's center-weighted meter can be fooled under very extreme lighting conditions, or when
attempting to read very light (e. 9. snow or beach scenes) or very dark (night scene) subjects. Also,
when back or spot lit subjects are being metered in AE photography and contrast is excessive between
the background and the subject, under or overexposed pictures usually result. Exposure compensation
may also be used to intentionally take over/underexposed pictures for creative effects, and to adjust ISO
speeds away from DX values.
Example 1: Without exposure compensation
