METERING MEMORY LOCK
We often want to arrange important subject elements outside the center
of the picture for reasons of picture composition and these elements may
sometimes be very bright or very dark. Center-weighted metering and
spot metering, however, mainly capture an area in the center of the
image and are calibrated to an average gray scale value. Subjects or
situations like the ones described above can be easily handled using the
metering memory lock.
The shutter button and/or the joystick can be used to save the exposure
setting (for PP, AA and TT) and the automatic focus (AFAF) - depending on
various menu settings.
Notes
A light balance indicating the offset from the saved measured value is
displayed.
If the aperture and/or exposure time are changed during this period,
the relevantly other value will be adjusted and displayed accordingly.
Pressing the shutter button
The AFAF setting is saved - and only in AFsAFs mode; the exposure setting can
also be saved
