NOTES ON BRACKETING
If the CompactFlash 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.
With super fine and RAW image qualities or when using flash, the bracket will not advance automati- cally; the shutter-release button must be pressed for each frame of the series. Once the series begins, the focus and exposure values are set and do not have to be made again. The remaining number of frames in the bracket series is displayed on the monitors next to the bracketing icon.
