Controlling Exposure

Auto Bracketing

Auto Bracketing is useful when you’re having difficulty determining the

 

proper exposure. This function lets you capture a sequence of images of

 

the same subject at three different exposure levels: appropriate exposure,

 

underexposure and overexposure.

 

You can use Auto Bracketing with four exposure modes. The following

 

table indicates the effect of Auto Bracketing in each mode:

 

 

 

 

 

Mode

Changed by Auto Bracketing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P mode

shutter speed and aperture value

 

 

 

 

 

 

A mode

shutter speed

 

 

 

 

 

 

S mode

aperture value

 

 

 

 

 

 

M mode

shutter speed

 

 

 

 

 

1. Rotate the D-Dial to

AB .

2.Rotate the C-Dial to set the bracketing amount.

It can be set in 1/3 EV step increments up to ±3 EV. The Auto Bracketing function continues until you set the amount to 0.

3.Rotate the D-Dial to the desired Drive mode.

The camera captures three images in the following sequence: appropriate exposure, underexposure and overexposure.

For example: If you set the bracketing amount to 2.0, the indicator in the viewfinder appears as in the following table:

 

P,A,S mode

M mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

First frame

0.0

* Measured value

 

 

 

Second

2.0

-2.0 EV deviation from Measured value

frame

 

 

 

 

 

Third frame

2.0

+2.0 EV deviation from Measured value

 

 

 

*Measured value is the difference between the correct exposure value for the camera and your setting value.

NOTE: The default Auto Bracketing sequence is: appropriate exposure, underexposure and overexposure. You may change the sequence using the Bracket Order Custom Setting. See page 5-3.
