Auto Bracketing Mode

In situations which are difficult to confidently meter for exposure, use the Auto Bracketing function. In this mode, three frames are taken successively with different exposures set automatically (overexposure, standard and underexposure).

1.Turn the mode setting dial and select "P", "Av" or "Tv".

2.Press the mode setting button “A” once to set the auto bracketing mode.

3.Turn the front or rear dial to set the exposure compensation steps.

When the dial is turned, the exposure compensation step switches between 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and 1 (displayed 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0). The setting is registered after 5 seconds or when the shutter release button is pressed.

4.Press the shutter release button once. Three photos are taken successively.

All exposures in the Auto Bracketing mode are made in the following order: overexposure, normal exposure and underexposure.

*The auto bracketing mode is automatically canceled once the three photos are taken.

*When the shutter release mode selector lever is set to "L" (power off), all the settings aside from the selected mode are reset to the default values.
