Auto Exposure/Flash Exposure Bracketing

In situations where you might find it difficult to obtain a proper exposure, Auto Exposure/

Flash Exposure bracketing lets you shoot the same subject at two or three different

exposures, with a variable exposure compensation degree of 0.3 EV, 0.7 EV or 1 EV.

If you set a compensation degree of 1 EV in a three-step bracket, for example, you will

capture three images, the first shot having no compensation, the second shot having a –1

EV compensation, and the third shot having a compensation of +1 EV.
