Bracketing

This mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. The bracketing mode is set with the drive-mode button (p. 38). Brackets cannot be made with TIFF images (p. 46).

The order of the bracket series is normal exposure, underexposure, and overexposure. The exposure bracket can be made in 0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 Ev increments (p. 73). The larger the number, the greater the difference in exposure between the images in the bracketed series.
