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 assign the [AEL toggle] function to the AEL button using [ Custom Key/Dial Set.] or [ Custom Key/Dial Set.], you can
lock the exposure without holding down the button.
Note
[ AEL hold] and [ AEL toggle] are not available when using zoom functions other than optical zoom.
