Autoexposure Bracketing

When Auto bracketing is selected, exposure varies with each shot; the number of shots and amount of exposure compensation performed are selected from the sub-menu shown at right. Values are added to the exposure compensation value selected with the button ( 44). Bracketing is performed by varying shutter speed (modes A and M), aperture (mode S), or shutter speed and aperture (mode P).

The Shooting Menu

Continuous Shooting (Autoexposure Bracketing)

At settings of Continuous H and Continuous L ( 88), shooting will pause after each bracketing cycle is complete. When Single is selected, shutter-release button must be pressed once for each shot in bracketing cycle.

Auto Flash and Auto ISO (Autoexposure Bracketing)

In auto flash mode ( 37), the flash setting for the first shot in each bracketing cycle applies to the remaining pictures. If the flash fires on the first shot, it will fire for the re- maining shots; if the flash does not fire on the first shot, it will not fire for the remaining shots. If sensitivity (ISO equivalency) is set to AUTO ( 52) in mode S or A, the sensitivity value for the first shot in each bracketing cycle will also apply to the remaining pictures (in mode P, sensitivity will vary with each shot).
