• The exposure remains locked as long as the = button is kept pressed or
the shutter release button is kept pressed halfway. The exposure remains in
memory for a period between 0.5× to 2× the metering timer even after taking
your finger off the = button.
• You will hear a beep when the = button is pressed. The beep can be turned
off. (p.215)
• AE lock is not available when the shutter speed is set to h.
• The combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes depending on
the zooming position even while the AE lock is engaged when using a zoom
lens for which the maximum aperture varies depending on the focal length.
However, the exposure value does not change and the picture is taken at the
brightness level set by the AE lock.
• Exposure can be locked when focus is locked. Set in [4. AE-L with AF locked]
in the [A Custom Setting 1] menu. (p.115)
