Autoexposure Bracketing
To indicate that AEB is in progress, the 〈〉 AEB icon on the LCD panel and the
〈〉indicator in the viewfinder blink
until all three bracketed shots have been
taken.
During continuous shooting, no viewfinder information is displayed.
In manual exposure mode, AEB is applied by changing the shutter speed.
You can use AEB in combination with exposure compensation. In this case, if
exposure compensation causes the exposure to fall outside the indicated
exposure level, the display looks as follows. In all cases the exposures are taken
according to the settings.
In 〈〉,〈〉,〈〉 and 〈〉modes
: AEB set to ±1 stop.
: With exposure compensation of 1 stop
: With exposure compensation of 1.5 stops
: With exposure compensation of 2 stops
In 〈〉mode
: Center exposure 2 stops from correct exposure
: Center exposure more than 2 stops from correct exposure
Neither flash nor bulb exposures can be used in AEB mode.
If you set mirror lockup with C.Fn-3-1 and then use AEB, single-frame shooting
takes effect even if the drive mode is set to continuous shooting.
You can change the AEB settings in 1/3-stop increments. (C.Fn-4
124)
In this case, the AEB indicator on the LCD panel looks like this.
AEB settings in 1/3-stop increments
: -1/3 :+1/3
AEB settings in 2/3-stop increments
: -2/3 :+2/3
You can change the sequence to underexposure, correct exposure, or
overexposure. (C.Fn-7
