AF/AE Lock (AF: Auto focus/AE: Auto exposure)
Locking the focus with [AF/AE LOCK] button
is useful when the subject is outside the AF
area or when the subject in extremely high
contrast prevents the camera from obtaining
the appropriate exposure.
AF: Through this function, the camera
automatically focuses on the subject.
AE: Through this function, the camera
judges brightness of the subject and
automatically selects the exposure.
