Set the step interval.

Turn the rear e-dial while pressing the ] button. The available bracketing amounts in [2. EV Steps] in the [ACustom Setting] menu (p.73) are as follows.

Bracketing amount	1/2 EV	±0.5, ±1.0,	±1.5,	±2.0
(Step interval)	1/3 EV	±0.3, ±0.7,	±1.0,	±1.3, ±1.7, ±2.0

Press the shutter release button halfway.

The focus indicator ] appears in the viewfinder when focused.

Press the shutter release button fully.

Three continuous pictures will be taken, the first with no compensation, the second with negative compensation, and the third with positive compensation (when the number of frames is set to [3]).

•When the focus mode is set to l (Single mode), the focus is locked in the first frame position and used for subsequent continuous frames.

•When you release your finger from the shutter release button during Auto Bracket, the Auto Bracket exposure setting will remain effective for twice as much time as the exposure metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds) (p.99) and you can take a picture at the next compensation value. In this case, auto focusing works for each frame. After about twice as much time as the exposure metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds), the camera returns to settings for taking the first picture.

•You can combine Auto Bracket with the built-in flash or external flash (P-TTL auto only) to change only the flash output continuously. However, when using an external flash, holding the shutter release button down to take three continuous frames may cause the second and third frame to be taken before the flash is fully recharged. Always take one frame at a time after confirming that charging is complete.

•Exposure Bracket is not available when the exposure mode is set to p(Bulb) mode.

•Exposure Bracket and Multi-exposure cannot be used together. The mode set last is used.

•When [8. One-Push Bracketing] in the [ACustom Setting] menu is set to [On], even if the shutter release button is not continuously pressed fully, all frames are automatically shot with one press of the shutter release button.
