Auto Bracketing

PHOTOGRAPHY ADVANCED

AUTO— BRACKETING

When auto bracketing is in effect, the camera varies exposure automatically with each shot (to a maximum of three shots), raising or lowering exposure by a predetermined amount (up to ± 2 EV) relative to the value selected by the camera or chosen using exposure compensation. Auto bracketing is available in all exposure modes.

This setting controls the size of the increments for auto bracketing.

11—AE/Flash Bracketing ( pg. 166)

If a Speedlight is used in combination with auto bracketing, both the flash level (TTL level for the main subject) and exposure will vary with each shot. Using Custom Setting 11, you can program the camera so that bracketing affects only the flash level or only the exposure value.
