Shooting
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.
1
Adjust the focus on the spot at which the exposure is adjusted.
2
Press the AEL button.
The exposure is locked, and (AE
lock) is displayed.
3
Keep pressing the AEL button and focus on the subject again,
then shoot the picture.
Keep holding the AEL button down while taking a shot if you want
to continue shooting with the fixed exposure. Release the button to
reset the exposure.

If you select the MENU (Camera Settings 2) [ Custom Key] or
[
Custom Key] [AEL Button] [AEL toggle], you can lock the exposure
without holding down the button.
