AE lock — Locking the exposure
Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as
excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example,
if the sun is in the frame and shooting with automatic exposure results in a
dark subject, re-compose your shot so that the sun is not in the frame. Then,
press the button to lock the metered value (exposure) temporarily.
Then compose your shot again with the sun in the frame and shoot. In other
words, use AE lock when you want an exposure setting that's different from
the setting that would normally apply to the image you want to shoot.
