Hi I've bought Steve's 3 books about BIF photography, Nikon AF settings and Exposure.
My Gear is : Nikon D500 + 200-500mm F5.6
There's 4 things I didn't quite catch about exposure lock
1) Do I have to be in spot metering mode to lock the exposure?
2) Do I have to choose a fixed ISO value or can I be in AUTO ISO? with a fixed ISO value , how can I be sure about the correct exposure?
3) Do I have to keep the button pressed (Fn1 for me) to lock the exposure, then point the camera to my subject with the button still pressed and simultaneously keep the autofocus button pressed (back button AF-ON) to focus on the subject and then shoot? All with the two buttons still pressed?
4) After shooting, do I have to repeat all the steps or does the exposure remain memorized?
Thanks a lot!
