FLASH BRACKETING

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the series is complete.

• The data panel and viewfinder will change to indicate the frame number in the bracketing series.

•Flash bracketing is equivalent to fill-flash mode.

•Do not turn off or remove the accessory flash before the series is complete. The remaining shots will be exposed at the flash sync speed, causing the pictures to be underexposed.

•Flash bracketing will not operate with an accessory flash that is connected to the camera's PC terminal or the Vertical Control Grip VC- 700's PC terminal via a sync cord (the VC-700 is sold separately).

✎To cancel the flash bracketing series before it is complete, push the built-in flash down or turn the camera off.

Press the drive-mode button in the control panel.
