FLASH BRACKETING

Flash bracketing lets you expose a series of frames with exposures below and above the normal metered exposure while using flash. You can choose a series of 3, 5, or 7 frame flash exposure brackets in 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 1.0 EV increments. Exposures are bracketed by controlling the flash output.

A larger bracketing increment is recommended when shooting nega- tive film.

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

2. Turn the drive-mode lever to

single-frame advance (

• The shutter-release button must be pressed for each exposure, even when the lever is in the (C) position.

3. Open the control-panel door, then press the adjust button.
