The Exposure Options menu contains two options
for controlling exposure.

sensitivity, white balance) settings.
Confirming AE-Lock Settings
When AE-Lock is On, AE-L (AE Lock) and WB-L

erture, sensitivity, and white balance for all subsequent shots.
The flash is turned off while AE lock is in effect.
