127 Aperture (exposure modes g and h): Press the selected button and rotate the sub-command dial until F icons appear in the viewfinder and the control panel. To unlock aperture, press the button and rotate the sub- command dial until the F icons disappear from the displays. Fn button Sub-command dial ASee Also Use Custom Setting f7 ( Shutter spd & aperture lock ; 0 350) to keep shutter speed and/or aperture lo cked at the selected values.
128 Use autoexposure lock to recompose photographs after using center-weighted metering and spot metering (0114) to meter exposure. 1Lock exposure. Position the subject in the selected focus point and press the shutter- release button halfway. With the shutter-release button pressed halfway and the subject positioned in the focus point, press the AAE-L/ AF-L button to lock exposure (if you are using autofocus, confirm that the in-focus indicator ( I) appears in the viewfinder). While exposure lock is in effect, an AE-L indicator will appear in the viewfinder. 2Recompose the photograph. Keeping the AAE-L/AF-L button pressed, recompose the photograph and shoot.

129 AMetered 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. AAdjusting Shutter Speed and Aperture While exposure lock is in effect, the following settings can be adjusted without altering the metered value for exposure: Exposure modeSetting eShutter speed and aperture (flexible program; 0118) fShutter speed gAperture The new values can be confirmed in the viewfinder and control panel. Note that the metering can not be changed while exposure lock is in effect. ASee Also If On is selected for Custom Setting c1 ( Shutter-release button AE-L, 0 319), exposure will lock when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. For information on changing the role of the AAE-L/AF-L button, see Custom Setting f6 ( Assign AE-L/AF-L button, 0 349).
130 Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. It is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering ( 0114). Choose from values between –5 EV (underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of 1/3EV. In general, positive values make the subject brighter while negative values make it darker. Exposure Compensation –1 EV No exposure compensation +1 EV
131 To choose a value for exposure compensation, press the E button and rotate the main command dial until the desired value is displayed in the control panel or viewfinder. At values other than ±0.0, the 0 at the center of the exposure indicators will flash (exposure modes e, f , and g only) and a E icon will be displayed in the viewfinder and control panel after you release the E button. The current value for exposure compensation can be confirmed in the exposure indicator by pressing the E button. Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure compensation to ±0.0. Exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off. ±0 EV ( E button pressed) –0.3 (–1/3)EV +2.0EVE button Main command dial
132 AExposure Mode h In exposure mode h, exposure compensation affects only the exposure indicator; shutter speed and aperture do not change. ASee Also For information on choosing the size of the increments available for exposure compensation, see Custom Setting b3 ( Exp./flash comp. step value , 0 315). For information on making adjustments to exposure compensation without pressing the E button, see Custom Setting b4 ( Easy exposure compensation , 0 316). For information on restricting the effects of exposu re compensation to the background when using a flash for foreground lighting, see Custom Setting e4 ( Exposure comp. for flash , 0 338). For information on automatically varying exposure, flash level, white balance, or Active D-Lighting, see page 133.
133 Bracketing automatically varies exposure, flash level, Active D -L ighting (ADL), or white balance slightly with each shot, “bracketing” the current value. Choose in situations in which it is difficult to set exposure, flash level (i-TTL and, where supported, auto aperture flash control modes only; see pages 194, 331, and 430), white balance, or Active D-Lighting and there is not time to check results and adjust settings with each shot, or to experiment with different settings for the same subject. ❚❚ Exposure and Flash Bracketing Vary exposure and/or flash level over a series of photographs. 1Select flash or exposure bracketing. Select Custom Setting e6 ( Auto bracketing set ) in the Custom Settings menu, highlight an option, and press J. Choose AE & flash to vary both exposure and flash level, AE only to vary only exposure, or Flash only to vary only flash level. Bracketing Exposure modified by: 0 EV Exposure modified by: –1 EV Exposure modified by: +1 EV
134 2Choose the number of shots. Pressing the D button, rotate the main command dial to choose the number of shots in the bracketing sequence. The number of shots is shown in the control panel. At settings other than zero, a M icon and exposure and flash bracketing indicator will appear in the control panel and D will be displayed in the viewfinder. Number of shots Control panel Exposure and flash bracketing indicator Main command dial D button
135 3Select an exposure increment. Pressing the D button, rotate the sub-command dial to choose the exposure increment. At default settings, the size of the increment can be chosen from 0.3 ( 1/3), 0.7 (2/3), 1, 2, and 3 EV. The bracketing programs with an increment of 0.3 (1/3) EV are listed below. Note that for exposure increments of 2 EV or more, the maximum number of shots is 5; if a higher value was selected in Step 2, the number of shots will automatically be set to 5.

136 4Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot. The camera will vary exposure and/or flash level shot-by-shot according to the bracketing program selected. Modifications to exposure are added to those made with exposure compensation (see page 130). While bracketing is in effect, a bracketing progress indicator will be displayed in the control panel. A segment will disappear from the indicator after each shot. No. shots: 3; increment: 0.7 Display after first shot ASee Also For information on choosing the size of the exposure increment, see Custom Setting b2 ( EV steps for exposure cntrl , 0 315).
