Camera Tip Pitstop. On your Nikon dSLR or mirrorless there's a button labelled AE/AF Lock. This is a handy button that is programmable via your menu options, giving you the ability to lock your exposure, focus or combination thereof. Last post we suggested an application for when you're shooting motorsport where you lock the exposure for when you know the cars have their headlights on. Another application is to program the button to lock the focus only. This is one method we use when battling the safety fencing that we're forced to shoot through. You simply focus on a section of track that you know the race car will pass over at the same time you meter the light by half pressing the shutter release button. Then hold down the AE/AF button and fire the shot when the car passes over your focus point. Not our preferred method of dealing with the safety fence, but useful when a lot of sunlight is swamping the fence and is not a panning shot. Next post we'll outline another method of dealing with the safety fence. Happy shooting.
