Shooting
AE lock
The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL button (AE lock). Use AE
lock when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally
apply under the current shooting conditions.
Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE
(automatic exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing
AEL . The AE
and AF lock functions can be customized on this camera.
AE bracketing
The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure values for
each frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to obtain (such as a
backlit subject or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture you prefer from a selected
number of frames with a variety of different exposure settings (exposure and
compensation values).The pictures are taken in the following order: Picture with
optimum exposure, picture adjusted in – direction, and picture adjusted in + direction.
Compensation value : 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0
The exposure compensation values depend on the EV step interval setting that can
be changed in the menu.
Number of frames : 3 or 5
