Locking the Exposure (AE LOCK)

Assigning the Fn (Function) button (GP.150) to [AE LOCK] and then pressing the Fn (Function) button during shooting allows you to lock or cancel the exposure.

•The exposure continues to remain locked even after you shoot a picture.

•AE LOCK does not work in manual exposure mode even if the Fn (Function) button is assigned to [AE LOCK]. When the Fn (Function) button is pressed, the value is automatically set closer to the appropriate exposure (closer to the center of the exposure value indicator). This is useful when, for example, you want to change/ adjust the exposure value from closer to the center of the exposure value indicator (the appropriate exposure).
