BUTTON FUNCTIONS (Cont.)
Locking the exposure — AE lock
Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as excessive
contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example, if the sun is in the
frame and shooting with automatic exposure results in a dark subject, re-compose your
shot so that the sun is not in the frame. Then, press the
metered value (exposure) temporarily. Then compose your shot again with the sun in the
frame and shoot. In other words, use AE lock when you want a different exposure from
the image you want to focus on.
Multi-metering
Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8 different points to set the optimal exposure
based on the average brightness. Useful with high-contrast subjects.
