AE Bracketing

This setting allows you to take three pictures with the camera, with each picture set to a different exposure value. When you select one of the AE (automatic exposure) Bracketing settings, the camera will take the first picture at normal exposure (0 exposure value), followed by an underexposed picture at the negative (-) exposure value in the setting, and finally an overexposed picture at the positive (+) exposure value in the setting. The entire sequence of three shots is taken with only one press of the Shutter button. Use AE Bracketing when you want to try underexposing and overexposing a shot to get an image at the best exposure.
