AE Lock Photography

AE lock allows you to set the exposure for a part of the image that you want to be correctly exposed, and then lock in that exposure setting when you take the picture. This technique is useful when you want to store an exposure setting in the camera (by pressing the “AE-L” AE lock button) and then keep the same exposure setting as you change your subject’s pose or the composition of the shot. Regardless of the selected exposure mode, the exposure metering mode is automatically switched to center-weighted metering.

1

Position your subject in the center of the image, hold

the shutter button halfway and press the “AE-L” AE

lock button.

2

With the “AE-L” button held down, return to the shot

composition you want to photograph, focus the shot

and then take the picture.
