Bracket

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p.

33). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (1) to make the bracket series; three consecutive images will be captured. If single-frame advance bracketing is selected, the shutter-release but- ton must be pressed for each exposure. If set to continuous AF (p. 46), the camera will continue to focus during a continuous bracket.

To make a flash bracket, set the continuous-advance or single-frame advance bracketing drive mode and raise the camera flash. The bracket will not advance automatically; the shutter-release button must be pressed for each exposure. The ambient exposure is not bracketed.

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 camera will use both the aperture and shutter speed control the bracket in P mode.

With a Digital Effect bracket, if the contrast or color saturation is set to the maximum or minimum level (±5), one bracket will be made at ± 6: +5, +4, +6. A RAW image cannot exceed the maximum and minimum levels and will contain two identical brackets: +5, +4, +5. A black and white Filter brack- et is made to the settings before and after the set Filter (p. 78). If Filter 10 is selected, the bracket series will be 10, 9, 0.
