Autoexposure Lock

Exposure lock is used to recompose photographs after metering exposure. It is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering (0 124) to frame off-center subjects that are much brighter or darker than their surroundings or to optimize exposure for an object other than your main subject.

1 Meter exposure.

Position the subject in the center of the frame and press the shutter- release button halfway to meter expo- sure. Check that the focus area is dis- played in green.

2 Lock exposure.

With the shutter-release button pressed halfway and the subject posi- tioned in the focus area, press 1 (A) to lock exposure. While exposure lock is in effect, an AE-Lindicator will be dis- played.
