Hi Marnie- You got me curious and I started looking through the menus on the Pentax. And yup, there's on/off settings for both auto exposure lock w/ AF lock and linking the auto exposure w/ the AF point.
OTOH, I wonder if I'm doing something wrong when I use the AE-L function to meter off something brighter/darker and then focus/compose. - Pat On Sat, Oct 31, 2009 at 9:26 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I just took tons and used exposure lock and it worked one half of the > time.
