Notes
• Exposure compensation is not available in M and BULB modes.
• When the exposure compensation value exceeds ± 3, the effect is not displayed correctly on
the live view.
The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL/AFL 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 the
AEL/AFL button.
Press the AEL/AFL button at the position where you
wish to lock the metering values and the exposure will
be locked.
• Pressing the AEL/AFL button again to cancel the AE
lock.
