Metered-value difference indicator
Keep pressing the AEL button , and the difference between the metered exposure value
and the exposure of the new composition will be displayed on the viewfinder LCD. This function
can be used to see if an object of very different brightness levels can be properly captured.

If the difference between the set value and the metered value exceeds 6EV, the viewfinder LCD
blinks “– u –” for underexposure and “– o – ” for overexposure.
By turning the front or rear dial in the AE lock mode, the aperture and shutter speed value can be
changed without changing the exposure value that is set when entered into AE lock mode.
In the “P” mode (Program AE) mode, turning either the front or rear dial shifts the program to “PH”
and “PL.” When in “Av” (Aperture priority AE) or “Tv” (Shutter priority AE), turning one of the dials
changes both the aperture and shutter speed values.

Exposure compensation and auto bracketing function can be used when the camera is in the
AE lock mode in normal operation or with the mirror locked up.
