Auto Exposure Bracketing

Auto Exposure Bracketing allows you to shoot in selected compensated EV values (maximum of ±2 EV) shifting from the automatically set proper exposure (or selected exposure in Manual exposure mode) for three shots each time the shutter is released. For example, this is useful in selecting one shot out of several shots with bracketed exposures after processing the film, when the subject has pronounced contrast in shooting with colour slide film and where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal.

1 Rotate the Command Dial while pressing the Auto Exposure Bracketing ¸ button to set desired bracketing value (within ±2 EV without combining exposure compen- sation). The display changes as follows:

(Multiple Exposure)

• When the bracketing value is set (and while the exposure meter is on), z appears and = blinks in the LCD panel, and = and electronic analog exposure display blink in the viewfinder. Bracketing value can be confirmed by pressing the ¸ button.

• Shutter speed and aperture in Auto-Multi Program,

aperture in Shutter-Priority Auto and shutter speed

in Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual exposure

mode are bracketed.

• In any of the exposure modes, Flash Exposure

Bracketing and Auto Exposure Bracketing are

simultaneously performed when a Speedlight is

used.

Electronic analog exposure display

Second shot

2 Compose picture, confirm focus indicator / and shoot.

•Each time the shutter release button is depressed, correct EV, under EV, and over EV exposure are performed in that order while the blinking electronic analog exposure display shows the correct, under, then overexposure. Compensated shutter speed and aperture values are displayed during shooting.

•If the Exposure Compensation function (page 61) is also set, bracketing will be combined with the Exposure Compensation values. It is useful to perform Bracketing with a compensated value of over +2 EV or under –2 EV.

•If the end of the film roll is reached during bracketing, the remaining shots can be taken after new film has been loaded. Also, if you turn the power switch off during bracketing, the remaining shots can be taken after the power is turned back on.

3 Auto Exposure Bracketing is completed and automatically cancelled when the third shot is taken.

•= and z in the LCD panel and = and the electronic analog exposure display in the viewfinder disappear when the bracketing is completed.

•To cancel the bracketing, rotate the Command Dial while pressing the ¸ button so the display disappears from the LCD panel. Bracketing is not cancelled by turning the power switch off.
