Auto Exposure Lock When you want to control the exposure of a specific area within a scene, measure the exposure on that area and press the x button to lock the exposure, then recompose the picture.

Set exposure to a mode other than Manual. 1 Position focus area on subject and lightly press the shutter release button, then press the x button.

However, it can be set to Matrix or Spot Metering using the Custom Setting. • When Spot Metering is selected, exposure on the 4mm-diameter area within the focus brackets (approx. 1% of the total frame) is measured. Note that the measured focus area differs with the AF Area mode selected. • When Dynamic AF Mode with Closest-Subject Priority (p. 47) or Dynamic AF Mode with Centre-Subject Priority or Centre Area Mode (p. 47) is selected: Exposure on the centre focus area is measured. • When Dynamic AF Mode or Single Area Mode is selected (p. 47): Exposure on the selected focus area is measured. 80 NOTE: When AF operation with x button is selected with the Custom Setting (p. 75) When option 2 in the Custom Setting menu 6 is selected, Auto Exposure cannot be locked by pressing the x button. To lock exposure, set the option other than 2 in the Custom Setting menu 6, or select option 1 in Custom Setting menu 5 to activate Auto Exposure Lock by lightly pressing the shutter release button. www.mynikon.com.pl 81
