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.

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

2Set the AEB range.

Turn the <6> or <5> dial to set the AEB range.

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

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. AEB will not be canceled automatically. To cancel AEB, set the AEB increment to “0.0”.

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

If the drive mode is set to <u> or <6>, press the shutter button three times for each shot. When <o>, <p>, or <K> is set and you hold down the shutter button completely, the three bracketed shots will be taken continuously and the camera will automatically stop shooting. When <k> or <l> is set, the three bracketed shots will be taken continuously after a 10-sec. or 2-sec. delay.

You can set AEB in combination with exposure compensation.

If the AEB range exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display <I/ > or <J/ >.

AEB cannot be set for bulb exposures or used with flash.

AEB will be canceled automatically when you set the power switch to <2> or when the flash is ready to fire.
