When setting a custom use on the D7000 for the AE/AFL button as per instructions on page 232 I cant wok out if I can do what I want with it.
I would like to be able to lock the exposure by pressing and holding (or not) the AE/AF button,without touching the shutter button,my reason is when making a quick change from one lighting situation to another, there would be no need to turn dials just point the camera at an area of suitable brilliance and hold that exposure,thus leaving me free to quickly point the camera in any direction and then auto focus,its what we did in 35mm without autofocus.
Sorry if it says I can or cant but just struggling with it.
Thanks
