To adjust the exposure using only the dials:

j You can set the exposure compensation value without pressing Fbutton. g“DIAL FUNCTION” (P. 104)

xNotes

AE lock

The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL/AFL button (AE lock). Use AE lock when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally apply under the current shooting conditions.

Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE (automatic exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing the AEL/AFL button.

Press the AEL/AFL button at the position where you

AEL/AFL button

wish to lock the metering values and the exposure will

 

be locked.

 

• Pressing the AEL/AFL button again cancels the AE lock.
