AE Lock Photography (AEL)
The AEL position is very important when making selective exposure
measurements of subjects that are not in the center of the frame or are backlit.
1. Set the camera’s Shutter Speed Dial to its ‘AEL’ position. 2) While looking
through the finder, center the most important part of the subject in the center of
the finder while keeping the Shutter Release Button depressed halfway. The
exposure setting will be memorized and you can recompose the subject.
Mirror-up Photography Using the AE Finder
Mirror-up photography is not possible in AE Mode, ‘A’, however, it is possible in
the ‘AEL’ Mode. 1. While pressing down on the Shutter Release Button halfway,
turn the Mirror Up Lever to ‘M-UP’, and then release the Shutter Release Button.
Using the Self Timer
When the Self Ttimer is used with the finder in te
"A"
position, the
exposure sure will be determined an instant before the shutter fires.
When the Self Timer is used with the finder in the
"AEL"
position, the
exposure will be determined by light conditions an instant before the Self
Timer was activated.
