CONTROLS IN DETAIL —continued-

Exposure memory lock button

When there is a substantial difference between the main

subject and the background, unimportant bright spots or

dark spots are likely to fool the camera's metering, result

ing in under-or overexposure (see Fig. 1). One way to

make exposure compensation is to use the memory lock.

This control allows you to lock in an exposure reading

with the camera on automatic control. To compensate for
an excessively bright or dark background, center the

main subject in the viewfinder or move in close to the

subject, depress the memory lock button and hold it in;

then recompose and shoot ( see Fig. 2).
