AE lock
When the contrast between the subject and background is high, such as when shooting a backlit subject or a subject
near a window, meter the light at a spot where the subject appears to have the appropriate brightness and lock the
exposure before shooting. To reduce the brightness of the subject, meter the light at a spot brighter than the subject and
lock the exposure of the entire screen. To make the subject brighter, meter the light at a spot darker than the subject and
lock the exposure of the entire screen.
Hint
If you select the [AEL hold] function in [
Custom Key/Dial Set.] or [ Custom Key/Dial Set.], you can lock the exposure as
long as you are holding down the button. You cannot set the [AEL hold] function to [Left Button], [Right Button] or [Down Button].
Note
[
AEL hold] and [ AEL toggle] are not available when using zoom functions other than optical zoom.
