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
AF-L (AUTO FOCUS LOCK)
The camera stores the focus setting. That makes it easier to
change the image section when focusing is fixed.
AE-L (AUTO EXPOSURE LOCK)
The camera stores the exposure value. The focus can therefore be
set on another object, no matter which exposure value is selected.
AF-L + AE-L
This option allows the camera to store the exposure value and the
focus setting when the joystick is pressed and held.
Notes
• A metering memory lock doesn’t make much sense in conjunc-
tion with multi-field metering, because a targeted capture of an
individual object element will not be possible.
• A change in the aperture setting after the metering memory lock
is set will not result in an adjustment of the shutter speed, i.e.
the end result would be an incorrect exposure.
