Exposure

Chang

ing Shooting Settings

If the subject is not in the metered area when center-weighted or spot metering is used, 
exposure will be based on lighting conditions in the background and the main subject 
may not be correctly exposed. This can be prevented by using autoexposure lock. 
Available in a, b, and c modes.

Select mode a, b, or c and choose q (center-weighted) or r (spot) for 
Metering (exposure lock has no effect in mode d).

p (matrix) is not recommended as AE lock may not be sufficiently effective.

Position the subject in the selected focus point. Keeping 
the shutter-release button pressed halfway and the 
subject positioned in the selected focus point, press 

H to lock exposure. 

Exposure is locked. While H is pressed, exposure is locked at the 
value metered in the selected focus point when r (spot) is 
selected, or at the value metered in the center area when q (center-weighted) is selected. 
Recomposing the frame does not affect the exposure.

While exposure lock is in effect, an E indicator will appear in the 
viewfinder. When autofocus is used, focus will be also locked. 
Confirm that the in-focus indicator (A) appears in the viewfinder 
when the shutter-release button is pressed.

Keeping H pressed, recompose the 
photograph and shoot.

While exposure lock is in effect, the following settings can be adjusted by rotating the command dial
