Use this feature to photograph the same image
with different exposure settings. Auto bracketing
automatically shoots 3 consecutive frames, one of
which is correctly exposed while the remaining two
are underexposed and overexposed respectively
by a set amount.
hThe three available settings are ±1/3 EV, ±2/3 EV
and ±1 EV. See P.101 for more information on EVs.

If the underexposed or overexposed frame is outside the
camera’s control range, the shot is not taken with the
specified setting increments.

on your subject. At that point, the AF frame on the
LCD monitor becomes smaller and the camera sets
the shutter speed and aperture (the viewfinder
lamp (green) changes from blinking to lit.).

On the FinePix F700, when you press the shutter button down half way, the focus and exposure
settings are fixed (AF/AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is off to one side of the image or if
you want to set the exposure before you compose the final shot, lock the AF and AE settings and then
compose and shoot your picture to get the best results.
