Sequence (the sequential order of the over- or under- exposures)

Step (the amount of EV variation from the standard exposure setting)

(A drop shadow will be displayed beneath the selected symbol, for example )

5)In turn the rear wheel to choose the number of frames required:

Check the lower text-row on the screen for ON or OFF status

The default setting is a shutter speed change in a bracketing sequence. However, if the camera is set in Manual mode, you can choose an aperture change instead (Custom Options - Bracket param. in Manual - 25).

See note at the beginning of this section regarding the difference between Single and Continuous drive settings. In both cases, the bracketing function is automatically reset for a new sequence.

A bracketing sequence can be stopped mid-sequence by pressing the ESC (ON.OFF) button.

As an example, a 5 frame sequence with an EV 1 variation setting at ‘Standard, Over, Under’ would produce: Standard (O EV variation), +1EV, -1EV, +2EV, -2EV.
