Recording with a Fixed Brightness (AE Lock Function)
This is a function for setting a fixed brightness. When recording in light with
an extreme difference in the brightness of the background and the subject,
such as a person standing in front of a dark background, the person can be
recorded brightly if the brightness is adjusted to the person.

toward [T] and zoom in to the part you want to record.
2Set the Mode Selector Switch to [AE LOCK].
≥The [ ] Indication 1 flashes to indicate that the brightness is
fixed. Afterwards, it lights up white.
To fix your desired brightness
Set the Mode Selector Switch to [MANUAL] first and adjust the Shutter Speed
and Iris to the desired color in step 2, and then set the Mode Selector Switch
to [AE LOCK].
To cancel AE Lock Function
Set the Mode Selector Switch to [AUTO] or [MANUAL].
≥Set the AE Lock again when [TAPE/CARD] Selector is switched after the
AE Lock has been set. (The brightness setting may be changed.)
