Shooting Functions

You can take three pictures continuously with different exposure when the
shutter release button is pressed. The first frame is exposed with no
compensation, the second frame is underexposed (negative
compensation) and the third frame is overexposed (positive
compensation).
The exposure remains locked as long as the =/L button is kept
pressed or the shutter release button is kept pressed halfway. The exposure
remains in the memory for a period between 0.5× to 2× the metering timer
(p.106) even after taking your finger off the =/L button.
You will hear a beep when the =/L button is pressed. The beep can
be turned off. (p.243)
AE lock is not available when the shutter speed is set to h.
When any of the following operations are performed, AE lock is canceled.
- The =/L button is pressed again
- The Q button, 3 button or M button is pressed
- The mode dial is turned
- The lens is changed
- The lens with an aperture s (Auto) position is set to other than the s
position
The combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes depending on
the zooming position even while the AE lock is engaged when using a zoom
lens for which the maximum aperture varies depending on the focal length.
However, the exposure value does not change and the picture is taken at the
brightness level set when the AE lock is activated.
The exposure can be locked when the focus is locked. Set in [5. AE-L with
AF Locked] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu. (p.120)
