Auto Exposure Bracketing

Auto Exposure Bracketing allows you to shoot at selected compensated EV values (maximum of ±3 EV) shifting from the automatically set proper exposure (or selected exposure in Manual exposure mode) for a selected number of shots (maximum of 7) each time the shutter is released. Auto Exposure Bracketing can be performed in any exposure mode.

1 While pressing the Auto Exposure Bracketing BKT button, rotate the Main-Command Dial to set the number of shots and Sub- Command Dial to set compensated EV value.

• While the BKT button is pressed, check the number of shots and compensated EV values in the rear LCD panel.

• When the selected number of shots is a value other than “0”, z appears in the top LCD panel and viewfinder. Electronic analog exposure display indicates the Bracketing status. (In Manual exposure mode, the Bracketing status is displayed only in the top LCD panel.) The compensated EV value and Bracketing indicator are displayed in the rear LCD panel.

See pages 76-77 for the combinations of the number of shots and compensated EV value.

Detailed Operation

2 Compose picture, focus and shoot.

• Compensated shutter speed and aperture values are displayed during shooting.

Shutter speed and aperture in Programmed Auto, aperture in Shutter- Priority Auto and shutter speed in Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual exposure mode are shifted.

In any of the exposure modes, Flash Exposure Bracketing (in which the TTL Auto Flash level of the lighted main subject is shifted) and Auto Exposure Bracketing (in which the exposure of a background lighted by ambient light is shifted) are performed simultaneously when a Speedlight is used.

CSM e5: Bracketing can be set to perform only Auto Exposure Bracketing or Flash Exposure Bracketing where both are normally performed simultaneously (x 105).

CSM e6: In Manual exposure mode, shutter speed, aperture and flash output level, or aperture and flash output level, or only flash output level can be set to be shifted where normally shutter speed and flash output level are shifted (x 106).

CSM e8: Auto Exposure Bracketing can be set to be turned on/off with the Main-Command Dial, and the Sub-Command Dial can be used to select the number of shots and compensated EV value (x 106).
