Adjusting the exposure

AE lock

When the contrast between the subject and background is high, such as when shooting a

backlit subject or a subject near a window, meter the light at a spot where the subject

appears to have the appropriate brightness and lock the exposure before shooting. To

reduce the brightness of the subject, meter the light at a spot brighter than the subject and

lock the exposure of the entire screen. To make the subject brighter, meter the light at a spot

darker than the subject and lock the exposure of the entire screen.

1. MENU

(Custom Settings

) → [Custom Key Settings], then assign the [AEL

toggle] to the desired key.

2. Adjust the focus on the spot at which the exposure is adjusted.

3. Press the button to which the [AEL toggle] function is assigned.

The exposure is locked, and

(AE lock) lights up.

4. Focus on the subject again and press the shutter button.

To cancel the exposure lock, press the button to which the [AEL toggle] function is

assigned.

Hint

If you select the [AEL hold] function in [Custom Key Settings], you can lock the exposure

as long as you are holding down the AEL button. The [AEL hold] function cannot be

assigned to the [Left Button] or [Right Button].
