When the contrast between the subject and background is high, such as when shooting a backlit subject or a subject
near a window, meter the light at a spot where the subject appears to have the appropriate brightness and lock the
exposure before shooting. To reduce the brightness of the subject, meter the light at a spot brighter than the subject and
lock the exposure of the entire screen. To make the subject brighter, meter the light at a spot darker than the subject and
lock the exposure of the entire screen.
Hint
If you select the MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [ Custom Key] or [ Custom Key] → [AEL Button] → [AEL toggle],
you can lock the exposure without holding down the button.
Note
[ AEL hold] and [ AEL toggle] are not available when using zoom functions other than optical zoom.
