hAuto Exposure Bracketing (AEB)

By changing the shutter speed or aperture automatically, the camera brackets the exposure up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. This is called AEB.

* AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing.

1 Hold down the <W> and <o> buttons simultaneously. (9)

X The <h> icon and “0.0” will appear on the top LCD panel.

2Set the AEB amount.

Turn the <6/5> dial to set the AEB amount.

“1.0” is the AEB increment, and <N> is the AEB amount.

Standard Decreased Increased exposure exposure exposure

3 Take the picture.

In the current drive mode, the pictures will be taken in this sequence: Standard exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure. After the three bracketed shots are taken, AEB will not be canceled. To cancel AEB, set the AEB increment to “0.0”.

During AEB shooting, the <w> icon in the viewfinder and the <h> icon on the top LCD panel will blink.

The AEB setting will be canceled automatically if the power switch is set to <2> or if the flash is ready.

AEB will not work with bulb exposures nor with flash.

If the drive mode is set to <u> or <6>, you must press the shutter button three times. If <o> or <p> is set and you hold down the shutter button completely, the three bracketed shots will be taken continuously. Then the camera will stop shooting. When <k> or <l> is set, the three bracketed shots will be taken continuously after a 10-sec. or 2-sec. delay. AEB can also be combined with exposure compensation.
