Varying Settings Automatically: Auto Bracketing

In some situations, you may find it difficult to se- lect appropriate exposure-compensation and white-balance settings, and yet not have time to check the results and adjust settings after each shot. Auto bracketing can be used to vary these settings automatically over a series of photographs, “bracketing” a selected exposure-compensation or white-balance setting.

Off

Select Off to restore normal exposure and white balance.

Menu

On

The camera varies exposure with each shot; the number of shots in each sequence and the amount of exposure compensation performed are selected from the sub-menu shown at right. Bracketing is performed by varying shutter speed (A and M modes), aperture (S mode), or shutter speed and aperture (P mode). No bracketing is performed if the amount of exposure compensation would ex- ceed the limits of the camera’s exposure system.
