<2. Using the AE Lock>
The AE lock is used for storing the exposure
value of the subject in the memory during the
aperture-priority auto exposure. It is used when
you shoot the backlighted subject or when you
make continuous shooting on the moving object
at a fix exposure.
If the main switch is set to “AEL”, the exposure
value at that time will be stored in the camera
memory so that you can trip the shutter release
with the same exposure value, unaffected by
changes in brightness on the background.
First, face the central part of the
viewfinder toward your subject, then
switch the main switch from “ON” to “AEL”.
The exposure will thus be locked.
@ The shutter speed display in the viewfinder
blinks during AE lock.
