c1: Shutter-Release Button AE-L
At the default setting of [Off ], exposure only locks when the AE-L/
AF-L
button is pressed. If [On] is selected, exposure will also lock
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
c2: Auto Meter-off Delay
Choose a shorter meter-off delay for longer battery life. When the
camera is powered by an optional EH-6 adapter, the auto meter-off
delay is equivalent to [No limit].
c: Timers/AE Lock
This option controls how long the camera
continues to meter exposure when no
operations are performed. Choose from 4 s,
6 s, 8 s, 16 s, 30 s, 1 minute, 5 minutes,
10 minutes, 30 minutes, or until the camera is
turned off ([No limit]). The shutter-speed and
aperture displays in the top control panel and
viewfinder turn off automatically when the
exposure meters turn off.
