• When any of the following operations are performed, AE Lock is canceled.
- the d/i button is pressed again
- the Q button, 3 button, or power switch is pressed
- the mode dial is turned
- the lens is changed
• AE Lock is not available when the shutter speed is set to h.
• The exposure is also locked when the focus is locked. If you do not want to
lock the exposure when the focus is locked, set [1. AE-L with AF Locked] of
the [A Custom Setting 1] menu to [Off].
• When the shutter speed or aperture value is changed while AE Lock is
engaged in a (Manual Exposure) mode, the combination of shutter speed
and aperture value changes while the exposure remains the same. For
example, when the shutter speed is 1/125 sec. and aperture is F4 and these
settings are locked, the aperture automatically changes to F8 if the shutter
speed is changed to 1/30 sec.
• When using a zoom lens whose maximum aperture varies depending on the
focal length, the combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes
depending on the zooming position even while AE Lock is engaged.
However, the exposure value does not change and a picture is taken at a
brightness level set when AE Lock is activated.
