NormalUnderOver Number of frames in bracketing series Frame counterNOTES ON BRACKETING

If the memory card is filled or the shutter button is released before the series has completed, the camera will reset and the entire bracket must be made again.

To make a flash bracket, set the digital-effects switch to the exposure position and raise the camera flash. When using flash, the bracket will not advance automatically; the shutter-release button must be pressed for each frame of the series. Once the serie begins, the focus and exposure are fixed.

The remaining number of frames in the bracket series is displayed on the monitors next to the bracketing icon.

When exposure brackets are made in S exposure mode, the aperture controls the bracket. In A and M modes, the shutter speed controls the bracket. The aperure can be used to control the bracket in M mode by setting the digital-effects switch to the exposure position and holding the digital-effects button during the exposures. Both the aperture and shutter speed can control the bracket in P mode.
