Using the AE lock
When using the AE lock, the light meter values used to set the exposure are fixed. This function is
convenient if you want to shoot several images without changing the exposure or select an
exposure that is not compatible with the focus position.
Each time you press the CUSTOM button, the AE lock changes as follow:
AE lock
AE lock released
AE lock
However if you perform other operations such as pressing and turning the jog dial, the AE lock may
be released.
The AE lock can only be used with the CUSTOM button.
