Exposure memory lock button
®
When there is a substantial difference between the main
subject and the background, unimportant bright spots or
dark spots are likely to fool the camera's metering, result
ing in under-or overexposure (see Fig. 1). One way to
make exposure compensation is to use the memory lock.
This control allows you to lock in an exposure reading
with the camera on automatic control. To compensate for
an excessively bright or dark background, center the
main subject in the viewfinder or move in close to the
subject, depress the memory lock button and hold it in;
then recompose and shoot ( see Fig. 2).
