HAuto Bracketing

Auto bracketing is used to vary exposure by a selected amount over a series of pictures, “bracketing” the exposure value selected by the camera or with exposure compensation. Use in situations in which it is difficult to guess the correct exposure (A40).

X±0.3

Camera varies exposure by 0 EV, +0.3 EV, and -0.3 EV over next three shots. Keep shutter-release button pressed to take all three shots in sequence.

Y±0.7

Camera varies exposure by 0 EV, +0.7 EV, and -0.7 EV over next three shots. Keep shutter-release button pressed to take all three shots in sequence.

Z±1.0

Camera varies exposure by 0 EV, +1.0 EV, and -1.0 EV over next three shots. Keep shutter-release button pressed to take all three shots in sequence.

kOff (default setting) Bracketing is not performed.

At settings other than Off, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the

monitor (A8).
