AE/AF lock mode

Description

 

 

 

 

(default)

Exposure setting is independent of pressing the Shutter button. This

 

 

 

 

 

allows for creative compositions and exposure situations. Retains the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

settings and prevents someone from accidentally changing them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use focus lock to obtain exact focus of subject and situations where

 

 

 

 

 

AF may not work. Allows for creative compositions and focus

 

 

 

 

 

situations. Examples:

 

 

 

 

 

Low-contrast scenes: subject is wearing clothing that is the same

 

 

 

 

 

color as the background.

 

 

 

 

 

Patterned subject or scene: building windows, subjects with

 

 

 

 

 

horizontal stripes, animal in a cage, person in a forest, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

Extreme differences in brightness within the framing marks: light is

 

 

 

 

 

in the background and main subject is in shadow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

/

Use when you want to control both exposure and focus independent

 

 

 

 

 

of pressing the Shutter button.
