The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL/AFL button (AE lock). Use AE lock
when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally apply under the
current shooting conditions.
Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE (automatic
exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing the
AEL/AFL button.
Press the AEL/AFL button at the position where you
wish to lock the metering values and the exposure will
be locked. As the exposure will be locked while the
AEL/AFL button is being pressed, press the shutter
button.
• Releasing the AEL/AFL button cancels AE lock.
• Using the custom menu, you can set AE lock so that it is not
canceled when the AEL/AFL button is released. g “AEL/
AFL memo” (P. 78)
The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its ability to
shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy appearance.
For [AUTO], sensitivity is set automatically according to the shooting conditions. You can set
the maximum sensitivity that is set automatically.
g “ISO limit” (P. 78)
However, sensitivity is fixed to ISO100, regardless of this setting, when the flash is not fired in
S or M mode.
