Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock)
You can set the exposure and focus separately. This is effective when the contrast is
too strong between the subject and background or when a subject is backlit. For
an explanation of how different combinations of light metering options and a
selected AF frame affect where the AE lock is metered, see page 80.
