Kodak DCS500 manual Auto Exposure Bracketing AEB, Custom Function F-6 Custom Function F-9

Auto Exposure Bracketing [AEB]

Use auto exposure bracketing to take a sequence of pictures at different exposures. When this function is set, the camera automatically takes three exposures in sequence while shifting the exposure for each image. The bracketing amount can be set in 1/3-stop increments up to +/-3 stops from the metered exposure value. When the Shutter button is pressed, three frames are exposed according to the current Drive mode in the sequence: underexposure, correct (metered) exposure, and overexposure. (Refer to Chapter 9 for more information on Drive mode.)

Underexposure (-1/3) Correct (metered) exposure (0) Overexposure (+ 1/3)

Custom Function F-9

The AEB step amount can also be input in 1/2-stop increments.

The shooting sequence can be changed to correct (metered) exposure, underexposure, and overexposure. This function also lets you set the AEB step amount by simultaneously pressing the AF Mode and Shooting Mode selectors while turning the Main dial.

☛If auto exposure bracketing is used with custom function F-12 set to mirror-up mode, the camera will operate in single exposure mode regardless of the current Drive mode (single exposure, continuous exposure).
