AE lock—Locking the exposure<br />
The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL button (AE lock). Use<br />
AE lock when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would<br />
normally apply under the current shooting conditions.<br />
Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE<br />
(automatic exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing AEL.<br />
When you lock the exposure, the metering mode (digital ESP metering, center<br />
weighted averaging metering or spot metering) selected in the menu is<br />
automatically applied. ~ “AEL METERING” (P. 124)<br />
