* If you have selected the spot metering method, but if your subject is too dark for it, the camera will automatically switch to the

center-weighted metering method to provide correct exposure.

AE Lock on Spot Metering

When the Shutter Release is depressed halfway in the spot metering mode, the measured exposure value will be stored in memory.

This is useful for taking pictures on spot metering in an edge of the picture frame.4www.butkus.org

Taking Pictures on Spot Metering

1 Set the Main Switch at AE-L and aim the I Focusing Frame at the main subject. Thus, you can set the exposure value of

your subject by spot metering.

2 Depress the Shutter Release

First, depress the Shutter Release halfway. The spot-value will be stored in memory by the AE Lock.

If the main subject is not in the center of the viewfinder, move the camera so that it is located in the Focusing Frame to focus the

lens on it. Then, recompose your picture with the Shutter Release depressed halfway and take it by depressing the button all the

way.

* If you take continuous exposure pictures in the drive mode "C" with an exposure value of the subject fixed by the AE Lock, all

pictures you take will be uniformly exposed, unaffected by changes in lighting conditions in the background.
