FV Lock

This feature is used to lock fl ash output, allowing photographs to be re-
composed without changing the fl ash level. This ensures that fl ash output
is appropriate to the subject even when the subject is not positioned in the
center of the frame. Flash output is adjusted automatically for any changes
in sensitivity (ISO equivalency) or aperture. To use FV lock:

1

Select FV Lock for Custom Setting 15 (AE-

L / AF-L;

147).

4

After confi rming that the fl ash-ready indicator

is displayed in the viewfi nder, press the AE-L /
AF-L
button. The built-in Speedlight will emit a
monitor prefl ash to determine the appropriate
fl ash level. Flash output will be locked at this
level and an EL icon will be displayed in the
viewfi nder.
