AE LOCK - Locking the exposure
This function is suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to
achieve, such as when there is excessive contrast between the subject and
the surroundings.

results in a dark subject, recompose your shot so that the sun is not in the
frame. Then press
x
to lock the metered value (exposure) temporarily.
Next, compose your shot again with the sun in the frame and take the picture.
