Canon XTi users- help

[Turnerea]

I'm wondering if any XTi users out there (or maybe any Canon really) can tell me if there is a way to 'cancel' the exposure lock. I find I keep hitting it accidentally, and while most of the time I can just take a picture real quick (so goes against my thinking because I learned on film!) but there has got to be a better way. Tried pushing buttons, reading the manual, searching online....

thanks!

that happens to me sometimes as well. unfortunately my solution has always been just to shoot off that **** shot and then continue. im not aware of any other way to do it...

I don't think you can use it in manual mode can you? Therefore if you use manual that will work

if my memory serves me right, when you hit the button next to it (on the right) you will cancel it.

You could change custom function #4. See page 104 of the manual.

This function allows you to change the AF to the (*) button, so that AF and AE lock are on different buttons...you can also disable AE lock.
