What does AE/AF mean on the D100


I'm a new owner of a Nikon D100. I want to guide me on how to set it when I want to take multiple exposures.
What is the use of the AE-L/AF-L button?
What is Focus OFF No wrap and or ON wrap

  If you don't already have it, the user manual (English) can be downloaded free from http://www.nikon.com.sg/ (click on "Tech Support").

AE-L/AF-L stands for "Auto Exposure Lock" and "Auto Focus Lock". You use this button to lock exposure and/or focus on the desired subject, then you can recompose the scene so that subject is not dead center.

"Focus Wrap" sets how the focus select buttons work. By default, the focus-area display is bounded by the four outer focus areas so that, for example, pressing the multi-selector up when the top focus area is selected will have no effect. Set to "ON" this is changed so that focus-area selection “wraps around” from top to bottom, bottom to top, right to left, and left to right.
