Pressing the shutter-release button halfway locks

press the shutter-release button halfway to lock focus and exposure. Recom- pose your photograph and press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot. If the Controls: AE-L,AF-Loption in the setup menu is set to AE-L( 124), exposure can be locked without locking focus by press- ing the center of the multi selector while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Exposure will remain locked as long as the multi selector is held in this position, even if you remove your finger from the shutter-release button. AE-Lindicator in monitor turns white when exposure lock is in effect.
