If you press and hold down the shutter release, you will see a red dot by the shutter speed in the indicator. I've been using my M7 for a few days now and almost always leave it on AE and "meter the area that I know is the better exposure" and then re-compose. So far the exposures where I've done that have been just as good as the ones where I let it fly. :) AE is an aid in shooting, its not a crutch. If you use it as a crutch you will fall. - -Mark On Wed, 8 May 2002, Mārtiņš Zelmenis wrote: > > May I chime in - > > not owning a M7 - hasn't the brand new camera got an <exposure lock> switch > (operated in AUTO mode) of a kind? > > Martin > > > AE is not the best way to go in a situation like this.
