same light as your main subject. Push in and hold the AE memory lock button with your left thumb. Return your right hand to the camera body and release the shutter. The exposure you locked in will be close to the proper exposure needed for a very light or very dark subject.

•In practical terms, the exposure latitude of both black and white and color negative film (from which prints are made) is inherently large enough to overcome almost all AE maladjustments which occur in day-to-day shooting. Therefore, it is not man- datory to use the AE memory lock button at all. However, color transparency film has extremely small exposure latitude and requires near perfect exposure to produce good results. When taking color slides, the use of the AE memory lock button in the special situations previously described is strongly recommended,

•A standard 18% reflectance gray card is a much more accurate surface to meter than the palm of your hand. It may be purchased very inexpensively from your local camera dealer and carried with you for situations requiring nothing less than perfect exposure.
