EXPOSURE BRACKETING NOTES

Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. Exposure and flash brackets can be made.

Continuous-advance bracketing

Select continuous-advance bracketing or single-frame advance bracketing and the bracketing increment with the drive-mode selection screen (p. 50). Continuous-advance bracketing creates a successive series of three images automatically when the shutter- release button is pressed and held. The shutter-release button must be pressed for each exposure when using single-frame advance bracketing. The greater the increment, the greater the difference among the images. When selected, the number of frames and the bracketing increment is displayed on the Ev scale. The bracketing order can be set in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 80).

To make a flash bracket, raise the camera flash; the ambient exposure is not bracketed. Only single-frame advance flash brackets can be made regardless of the specified mode; press the shutter-release button for each exposure. The built-in flash recharges between exposures. Exposure brackets are made when the flash is down.
