Autoexposure Bracketing

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.

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.

If the drive mode is set to single-frame shooting, you must press the shutter button three times to complete the bracketing sequence.

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 viewfinder display looks as follows. In all cases, the exposures are taken according to both the AEB and exposure compensation 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 standard exposure

: Center exposure more than –2 stops from satandard exposure

You can change the AEB settings in 1/3-stop increments. (C.Fn-4122) 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 decreased exposure, standard exposure, or increased exposure. (C.Fn-7124)
