A Metered Area
In spot metering, exposure will be locked at the value metered in a
4-mm (0.16 in.) circle centered on the selected focus point.
In center-
weighted metering, exposure will be locked at the value metered in a
12-mm circle in the center of the viewfinder.
A Adjusting Shutter Speed and Aperture
While exposure lock is in effect, the following settings can be changed
without altering the metered value for exposure:
Exposure mode Setting
e Shutter speed and aperture (flexible program; 0 118)
f Shutter speed
g Aperture
The new values can be confirmed in the viewfinder and control panel.
Note that the metering method can not be changed while exposure
lock is in effect (changes to metering take effect when the lock is
released).
