EXPOSURE BRACKETING

To cancel, move the drive-mode lever to a different mode.

The normal sequence (for a 5 frame bracket in 1/2 increments) is;

Normal -0.5EV +0.5EV -1.0EV +1.0EV

However by selecting Custom 11-2, the following sequence is possi- ble; (p 169.)

-1.0EV -0.5EV Normal +0.5EV +1.0EV

Exposure is locked on the first frame of the series.

P mode (programmed autoexposure) exposures are bracketed by changing both the aperture and shutter speed.

S (shutter priority) mode and PS mode exposures are bracketed by changing the aperture.

M mode (manual), A mode (aperture priority) and PA mode exposures are bracketed by changing the shutter speed.

Press the AE-lock button when the shutter is released to bracket using the aperture in manual (M) mode.

Single Frame Advance

The number above the bracket indicator in the display and also in the viewfinder, increases each time you take a picture.

Film can be changed in the middle of the bracketed series.

Turn the camera off, or select another drive mode to cancel single frame advance bracketing.

Continuous Advance

Removing your finger from the shutter-release button before the series is complete resets the camera to the first frame of the bracket.

Continuous advance bracketing is cancelled at the end of the roll.

Meter Index

When bracketing is selected, the meter index appears in the viewfinder.

If exposure compensation is also selected, the whole bracketing series will be shifted.

Meter index doesn’t appear in the viewfinder while adjusting the incre- ment and size of the bracketing.

Every time the picture is taken, the corresponding bar will disappear.

Bracketing increment - 0.7EV

Bracketing increment - 0.5EV

Size of bracket - 3 frames

Size of bracket - 5 frames

 

Exposure compensation - +1.0EV

• If a 1/2EV exposure increment is selected with a 0.3 or 0.7EV

DRIVE

exposure bracketing increment, or if a 1/3EV exposure increment is

 

selected with a 0.5EV exposure bracketing increment, then the posi-

 

tion of the bar in the meter index shown in the viewfinder will be slight-

 

ly shifted. However, the exposure will be exactly as set.

 

• If you press the display-selection button, the

 

meter-index display appears in the navigation

 

display. Exposure bracketing index is shown in

 

the upper mid-area with .

 

With the exposure history display, the next exposure value is reversed printed to tell you that camera setting is different.

Dial setting only. The actual bracketing value may

not be as indicated in the reverse printed area.
