AE lock
When the contrast between the subject and background is high, such as when shooting a backlit subject
or a subject near a window, meter the light at a spot where the subject appears to have the appropriate
brightness and lock the exposure before shooting. To reduce the brightness of the subject, meter the light
at a spot brighter than the subject and lock the exposure of the entire screen. To make the subject
brighter, meter the light at a spot darker than the subject and lock the exposure of the entire screen.
1. Adjust the focus on the spot at which the exposure is adjusted.
2. Press the AEL button.
The exposure is locked, and
(AE lock) lights up.
3. Keep pressing the AEL button and focus on a subject, then shoot.
Keep holding the AEL button down while taking a shot if you want to continue shooting with the
fixed exposure. Release the button to reset the exposure.
Hint
If you select the [AEL toggle] function in [Custom Key Settings], you can lock the exposure without
holding down the AEL button.
