AE LOCK - Locking the exposure This function is suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve, such as when there is excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings.

Then press x to lock the metered value (exposure) temporarily. Next, compose your shot again with the sun in the frame and take the picture.
