The metered exposure value can be locked with the
AEL
/
AFL
button (AE lock). Use AE lock
when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally apply under the
current shooting conditions.
Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE (automatic
exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing the
AEL
/
AFL
button.
Press the
AEL
/
AFL
button at the position where you
wish to lock the metering values and the exposure will
be locked. As the exposure will be locked while the
AEL
/
AFL
button is being pressed, press the shutter
button.
• Releasing the
AEL
/
AFL
button cancels AE lock.
• Using the custom menu, you can set AE lock so that it is not
canceled when the
AEL
/
AFL
button is released.

shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy appearance.
For

, sensitivity is set automatically according to the shooting conditions. You can set
the maximum sensitivity that is set automatically.
