Choose On to use the exposure indicator to determine whether the camera is
correctly focused in manual focus mode (0 65; note that this function is not available
in shooting mode M, when the exposure indicator instead shows whether the subject
is correctly exposed).
Select the increments used when making adjustments to
shutter speed, aperture, exposure and flash compensation, and
bracketing.
At the default setting of Off, exposure only locks when the AE-L/
AF-L button is pressed.
If On is selected, exposure will also lock
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
