2) Using the AE lock (Fig. 31)
This is the method of exposure compensation used
during focus priority AE photography (Fig. 23). Use
this when you want to fix exposure such as when
taking consecutive pictures at fixed exposure of
moving subjects or subjects against backlight.
First turn the shutter dial 撮 to set the exposure
mode on “AEL”. Then look through the finder,
get the main subject inside the focus frame and
adjust the focus.
Pressing the shutter button down halfway
makes the camera record the exposure and
places it in AE lock state. Now, with the shutter
button still pressed halfway down, decide the
desired picture composition, then take the
picture by gently pushing the shutter button all
the way down.
★ The shutter will now remain at the recorded
exposure no matter how the background
changes.
★ The camera stays in AE lock state as long as
the shutter button is pressed halfway down.
Releasing the finger holding the button halfway
down clears the AE lock.
★ When consecutive pictures are taken, and the
AE lock is preset to a certain subject brightness,
pictures can be taken with the same exposure
with no effect from changes in background.
★ If the alarm for being outside the exposure
linked range is given when an attempt is made
to AE-lock the camera, it cannot be AE-locked.
★ This camera records shutter speed for AE lock
mode. When the focus is changed after
AE-locking, the exposure quantity will change.
