Mike,

Exposure lock only applies when shooting in aperture or shutter priority.

You meter the scene/subject, and, on your Canon, press the * button on the back so the exposure or aperture value doesn't change.

When shooting manual, this isn't required.

It's a helpful technique for focus/recompose when shooting in aperture or shutter priority modes.
