•When used with exposure compensation in the ABC Exposure mode, the exposure value is used as the base value for autobracketing.

•Metering is repeated for each photograph, and compensation determined for the metered value at that time. It is recommended that the AE lock be set before beginning photogra- phy if autobracketing without the effects of changing brightness is required.

•If the compensation range exceeds the compensation limits of the camera, photographs are taken at the limit of the possible compensation values.

•If the main switch is turned “OFF” and “ON” again in the ABC Exposure mode, ABC pho- tography begins again from the first frame for three frames.

•The flash cannot be used in the ABC Exposure mode.

“ ” The compensation sequence may be changed to over-exposure → standard expo- sure → under-exposure (page 87).

•When using the selftimer, light entering the viewfinder when the eye is moved away may interfere with a correct reading of incident light. In such cases, fit the viewfinder shade adapter to the viewfinder before taking photographs. (page 14)

•The selftimer cannot be used when the bulb mode is set.

•If the shutter button is pressed after the selftimer has been activated, the selftimer time is reset.
