Taking Multiple Photographs with the Same Exposure: AE Lock
When taking a series of photographs that you will later join into a
single image (for example, when taking shots that will later be joined
to form a panorama or a 360
°
virtual-reality image), you will need
to use the same exposure, sensitivity, and white-balance settings for
each of the images in the series. This is possible using the AE-lock
menu.
