Custom Function F-4

(page 6-6)

This custom function lets you lock the exposure with the Shutter button instead of the AE Lock button (✳). Pressing the AE Lock button activates autofocusing.

When using One-shot AF together with Evaluative metering, the exposure reading is automatically locked when you press the Shutter button halfway.

When using One-shot AF together with Fine Spot or Partial metering, the exposure setting is locked only during Continuous Shooting mode.
