AE Lock Normally the camera automatically meters the focus and the exposure when you half- press the shutter button and locks the AF (automatic focus) and AE (automatic exposure) at the same time. However, you can lock the exposure by pressing the button before pressing the shutter button. If you press the shutter button with the button depressed, only AF is performed and the exposure does not change. Conversely, if you press the button with the shutter button half-pressed, the focus is fixed and you can adjust the exposure. The exposure is held only as long as the button is depressed and released as soon as the button is released. Viewfinder 23 1 Point the camera at the subject for which you want to set the exposure. 2 Press the button. Keep the button pressed down. While the button depressed, the exposure setting will not change. When the exposure is locked, the AEL mark appears in the viewfinder. If you half-press the shutter button while holding down the button, automatic focus also operates. 3 With the button still pressed down, take the picture. You can continue to take other pictures at the same exposure, as long as you keep the button pressed down. Locked AEL displayed exposure When the shutter button is half-pressed When you press the button, the exposure setting selected by half-pressing the shutter button is canceled and the exposure selected with the button press is used. On the other hand, if the button is released, then exposure changes as metered automatically with a half-press on the shutter button. 80
