METERING MEMORY LOCK

For composition reasons, it can be beneficial not to have the main
subject in the center of the picture.
In that case, the metering memory lock function - in
exposure modes, and with single field and spot metering modes -
AF
enables the main subject to be metered first and the relevant settings
retained until you have determined your final trimming and take the
picture.
Taking a Picture with this Function
1. Aim the relevant AF frame at the section of your subject to which
you want to adjust the focus and exposure
2. Press the shutter button to the first pressure point to set and
save the focus and exposure
3. Continue holding the shutter button half way and move the
camera to determine the final trimming
4. Push the shutter button all the way down to take the picture
