If you are taking a photo of a scene that has darker and lighter sections, (for example, a subject standing in a shadow) Auto Exposure Lock can help you to expose the photo correctly. For example, you can aim the camera at a darker part of the scene, press the Shutter button 1/2 way down, and then move the camera to include a brighter part of the scene.
