Pentax SF10 - Using Exposure Memory Lock Function

USING EXPOSURE MEMORY LOCK FUNCTION
The exposure memory lock function temporarily
memorizes the subject's exposure data to adjust the
exposure in the automatic exposure mode. This function
is especially useful for photographing people against
a very contrasty background, such as backlighting or
a bright sky.
1. Fill the viewfinder with the main element (subject's
face, etc.) and press the memory lock (ML] button.
As long as the ML button is pressed, the correct exposure
Is memorized for the subject's face. During memory lock,
the exposure Indications in the viewfinder blink rapidly.

2. While maintaining the exposure data with the memory
lock, compose the image and take the picture. The
subject will be correctly exposed. When the shutter is
released, the memory lock is canceled.
• If you press the shutter release button lightly while
the memory lock is activated, the memory is locked as
long as the shutter button is depressed, even if you
remove your finger from the ML button.
Note: When the [ML] button is pressed in the Metered
Manual mode, a shutter speed indication in the viewfinder
is fixed and blinks to indicate that the exposure is
memorized.
