EXPOSURE CONTROL
EXPOSURE PREVIEW
The brightness of the screen image mirrors the effects of the
selected exposure settings when pressing and holding the shutter
button on the first pressure point. You can now assess and control
the effect of the relevant exposure setting on the image before
taking the picture. This will apply as long as the subject brightness
and the set exposure don’t result in excessively low or high
brightness values.
This function can be disabled for the manual exposure setting (M).
Factory setting:
P-A-S-MP-A-S-M
▸ Select Exposure PreviewExposure Preview in the main menu
▸ Select P-A-SP-A-S (only in automatic, aperture priority and shutter
speed priority mode) or
P-A-S-MP-A-S-M (also for manual setting)
Notes
• Depending on ambient lighting conditions, the brightness of the
screen image may differ from that of the actual pictures, despite
the settings described above. The screen image will appear
considerably darker than the – correctly exposed – picture. That
is particularly the case in long-term exposures.
• The exposure preview will also be displayed if exposure metering
is done via another control element (e.g. using the joystick,
provided is was assigned the
AE-LAE-L function).
EXPOSURE 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. Cen-
ter-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.
In that case the metering memory lock initially allows a metering of
the main object and to store the relevant settings until the final
image section is set. The same applies for focusing (AF-L) in any
autofocus mode.
Usually both lock functions (focusing and exposure) are done at
the same time with the shutter button. You can, however, divide the
lock functions between the shutter button and the joystick or
assign both to the joystick. The functions include settings and
storage.
