so glad I found this...my kids had my camera..thought it was broke. I guess they switched the above setting..the only way I could take a pic was to hold the button and snap at the same time..I put it back to the top one and so far so good. I did miss my son's first bday thinking the camera was broke..so thank you

OMG 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you watching your video helped me figure out why my camera wasn't focusing

This setting is useful for recording films without having an exposure changing constantly due to different light environments. It is just too bad that you have to hold the button.

hey guys, when i use this button to lock exposure or focus, do i just push it once and will it then stay locked until i press shutter, or do i have to hold the button down until i press the shutter?

Adam;
Will the AE/L work while camera is in manual mode? Seems redundant if it does.

Hi how do we turn of the focus using shutter button though? My device is a D5600.

Hello! When I adjust the shutter the exposure does not change in the live view. Still cant find the right settings. Can you help me with this? Nikon d5100

Thanks for uploading! I still don't know why is needed to lock autofocus or exposure...

[tarunhasija]

In my Nikon d5300 I have set AE/AF button to lock both exposure and lock focus. But when I am pressing this Button it's looking only Exposure only and shutter button is working to focus on the subject. Why this button is not working to lock both?

I like he tried and most of what he said yet why post such a 1/2 ass video with problems and then fades away strangely? and did not complete the instruction. just wondering

[photographerswithoutborder]

you are great man and that's Really true

[kylekamerman]

IIT DOES NOT WORK ON THE D5200 SO THEN IN THE TITLE DONT SAY THAT IT DOES

[MArk-ynsp]

So, if I want a sillouette (foreground person dark against light background) which do you suggest is the most efficient process: AEL or AEF? txs
