Number of frames in bracketing series

Frame counter

The remaining number of frames in the bracket series is displayed on the monitor next to the bracketing indicator. If the memory 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. If the red low-battery indicator appears, the bracketing drive mode is disabled. The flash cannot be used with the bracketing drive mode.

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

When using exposure compensation (p. 41), the bracketing series will be made in relation to the compensated exposure. Under extreme conditions, one of the bracketed exposures may be inaccurate because it is outside the exposure control range of the camera.

WHAT IS AN EV?

Ev stands for exposure value. A change of one Ev adjusts the exposure calculated by the camera by a factor of two.

+2.0 Ev	4X as much light
+1.0 Ev	2X as much light
±0.0 Ev	Calculated exposure
–1.0 Ev	1/2 as much light
–2.0 Ev	1/4 as much light
