How to lock the exposure (AE Lock)

Solution

AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects.

Focus at the point where you want to lock the exposure reading
  • The exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) will be displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder

Press the <> button (6sec.)

  • lights in the viewfinder to indicate that the exposure setting is locked
  • Each time you press the <> button, it locks the current exposure setting
  • AE lock cancels 6 seconds after lights in the viewfinder or if you press the <AF> button, button or <MODE> button

Recompose the shot and take the picture

  • When the shot is recomposed, the exposure level indicator will show the new exposure level in real-time relative to the locked exposure level
