Digital Still Camera

DSC-RX0

AE lock

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 assign [AEL hold] to the

(Enter) button using (Camera Settings2) → [Custom Key(Shoot.)], you can keep the

exposure locked as long as you are holding down the

(Enter) button.

Note

You cannot assign the [AEL hold] function to [Left Button].

MENU →

(Camera Settings2) → [Custom Key(Shoot.)], then assign the [AEL toggle] to the desired

key.

Adjust the focus on the spot at which the exposure is adjusted.

Press the button to which the [AEL toggle] function is assigned.

The exposure is locked, and

(AE lock) is displayed.

Focus on the subject again and shoot an image.

To cancel the exposure lock, press the button to which the [AEL toggle] function is assigned.
