• If the exposure compensation value exceeds the scale of the exposure compensation indicator,
red vw will be displayed on the left and right edges of the indicator.
• The exposure compensation indicator will not be displayed when the exposure is compensated by
0.
The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL 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
button.
Press the
AEL 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 button is being
pressed, press the shutter button.
• Releasing the AEL button cancels AE
lock.
• Using the custom menu, you can set AE
lock so that it is not canceled when the
AEL button is released. g “AEL /
AFL memo” (P. 66)
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 and is fixed to
ISO100 when flash is not fired in S or M mode.
