FLASH BRACKETING

Flash bracketing lets you expose a series of frames with exposures below and above the normal metered exposure while using flash. With the 800si, you can choose a series of 3, 5, or 7 frames. Exposures can be made in 0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 EV increments. The exposure is controlled by the flash output.

Raise the built in flash or turn the accessory flash on.

Follow instructions 1 through 6 for Exposure Bracketing (p 77).

• After the settings are entered, F br 1 appears in the data panel and the viewfinder.

Wait for the flash-ready signal to appear in the viewfinder.

Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
