Tip:  To lock the exposure, hold down

the AE button while the camera is set to 

P, S, or A. The exposure is locked for as long as you hold the button.

Note:  If you are working with an AF-lens, the aperture ring has to be set to A to 

enable the automatic functions (program, aperture priority and shutter priority 

modes). If the aperture ring is not set to A, the aperture has to be set manually at 

the lens.

release pressed slightly before taking your shot. If necessary, perform 

manual fine-tuning.
