Ae Lock - Canon EOS ELAN7 Instructions Manual

* AE Lock
With the same focusing point, you can obtain and lock the auto exposure
setting on one part of the picture and then recompose to focus a different
part of the picture. AE lock enables you to maintain the same exposure
setting even after recomposing the shot. This is effective for backlit subjects.
• Also see "AE Lock Effect" on page 92 to see how AE lock works
depending on the focusing point selection method and metering mode.
