| The AE Lock feature lets you lock auto exposure at a particular setting. This feature is separate from the AE lock that is achieved by pressing the shutter button half way in any exposure mode besides the M-mode (manual exposure). You can use AE Lock in the following instances. |
|
| • |
To set up exposure on a subject that is different from the subject selected by Auto Focus. |
| • |
To setup exposure prior to using the flash for recording. |
|
|
 |
 |
In a REC mode, point the camera at the subject on which you want exposure to be performed. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Press [AE-L]. |
|
| • |
This fixes the exposure settings (aperture and shutter speed), and displays "AE-L" on the monitor screen. |
|
|
| • |
The AE Lock is released by pressing [AE-L] again or by changing to another mode. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
| Record the image. |
|
| • |
AE Lock is released automatically when the image is recorded. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
| • |
If AE Lock is already in effect, you can re-execute it by pressing [AE-L] once to release AE Lock, and then pressing [AE-L] again to perform a new AE Lock operation. |
|
| • |
Continuous shutter recording is always performed with AE Lock. |
|
| • |
AE Lock can be used before starting movie recording or while movie recording is in progress. |
|
| • |
Proper Auto Focus may not be possible if you try to use AE Lock to record an image in which there is a very large variation in brightness. |
|
| • |
You can also perform AE Lock by holding down [AE-L], instead of performing the procedure described above. |
