The AE Lock is a memory device used to hold the exposure
information (appropriate shutter speed and aperture
combination). Thus, when the white index mark of the AE Lock
lever is turned all the way to the top, it will lock itself into place,
storing in the camera's memory the exposure in effect at
moment of setting. When the shutter release is pressed, the shut-
ler releases at the memory-oriented shutter speed regardless of
the surroundings. At this time, the LED display in the viewfinder
will pulsate the memory-oriented shutter speed number.
Disenable the AE Lock by turning back the lock lever with your
fingertip. The shutter speed disptay wiil now tight steadity.
The AE Lock on the RTS ll Quartz is a memory system that holds
a meter reading taken from a combination of the aperture and
the shutter speed data. Thus, when the aperture is changed after
setting of the AE Lock, the camera will automatically select a
corresponding shutter speed to assure you of a uniform exposure
setting at all times.
