ƃ The combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes depending on the zooming
position even while the AE lock is engaged when using a zoom lens for which maximum aperture
varies depending on the focal length. However, the exposure value does not change and the

to set the appropriate exposure when the Green button is pressed.
ƃ Exposure can be fixed when focus is locked. Set in [AEL with AF Locked] in the [CUSTOM1
