AE/AF lock mode

Description

(default)

Exposure setting is independent of pressing the Shutter button. This
allows for creative compositions and exposure situations. Retains the
settings and prevents someone from accidentally changing them.

Use focus lock to obtain exact focus subject and situations where AF
may not work. Allows for creative compositions and focus situations.
Examples:
Low-contrast scenes: subject is wearing clothing that is the same
color as the background.
Patterned subject or scene: building windows, subjects with
horizontal stripes, animal in a cage, person in a forest, etc.
Extreme differences in brightness within the framing marks: light is
in the background and main subject is in shadow.

/

Use when you want to control both exposure and focus independent
of pressing the Shutter button.
