Nikon FE2 - Using the Memory Lock Lever

Another
way
to
make
exposure compensation
is
to use
the
memory lock
lever When
there
is
a
substantial
difference in
brightness
between
the
main
subject and the
background,
such
as
a strongly
backlit
subject. the
camera's
exposure meter is
likely
to be
fooled,
resulting
in
under-or
overexposure
(fig.
.t)
To
compensate for
this,
center the main
subject in
the viewf inder
or move in
close to
the subject,
turn the memory
lock lever
towards
the
lens
and hold it
in,
then
recompose
and shoot
(Fis

The
reading
will
be
retained
as long
as
the control is held in
this
position
The
shutter
speed is
"locked
in"
electronically while
you
depress
the lever The
meter needle
is
also locked and
doesn't
move
Notes.'
1) Be
sure
to
switch
the meter
on
prior
to
using
the memory lock lf the
procedure
/s
reversed,
the
correct exposure cannot
be
obtained
D
During memory lock operation,
the meter remains on, then
auto-
matically
turns off 16
sec after
