Alternatively, you can also pre-set the initial zone reading in order
to save time and eort where there is no freely available ‘zone 5’
subject for light measuring. For example, you might be on a sandy
beach where you know that sand is normally classied as zone 6.
You can pre-programme the zone placement by holding down
the AE-L button while choosing the new zone value and turning
the front control wheel until zone 6 appears. All new placements
will then be zone 6.
