AE SHIFT

You can set the AE Shift function in 13 steps from +2.0 to –2.0, allowing you to move through exposures at a controlled rate. The screen can be at either a high or low key level depending on your preference.

AE LOCK

This feature allows you to manually set and lock the exposure. Once this has been done it is still possible to adjust shutter speed and aperture without further affecting the exposure.

The XL2 includes dedicated light balance controls.
