evaluative metering and One
Shot AF. In this case, the (✳)

Shutter button, whichever
comes first.

metering. Place the subject in
the center of the viewfinder
when activating AE lock.

composition as desired, and
capture the image.

composition, the difference

metered exposure value is
displayed in the viewfinder in
real-time.
