c: Timers/AE Lock

c1: Shutter-Release Button AE-L

At the default setting of Off, exposure only locks when the AE-L/AF-Lbutton is pressed. If On is selected, exposure will also lock when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

c2: Auto Meter-off Delay

This option controls how long the camera continues to meter exposure when no operations are performed. Choose from 4 s, 6 s, 8 s, 16 s, 30 s, 1 minute, 5 minutes,

10 minutes, 30 minutes, or until the camera is turned off (No limit). The shutter-speed and

aperture displays in the control panel and viewfinder turn off automatically when the exposure meters turn off.
