•Canceling Auto Exposure Bracketing

•To cancel Bracketing, while pressing the BKT button rotate the Main-Command Dial so the number of shots becomes “0” (the compensated EV value previously selected will remain). Or, rotate the Main-Command Dial and select “OFF” when the “Preset value select” is selected in “e8: Auto BKT selection” (the number of shots and compensated EV values previously selected will remain).
