Consecutive images will be taken according to the order set in [8. Auto Bracketing Order] of the [ACustom Setting 2] menu.

•When the focus mode is set to l (Single mode), the focus position is locked in the first image and is used for subsequent images.

•When you take your finger off the shutter release button during Exposure Bracketing, the exposure setting will remain effective for twice the amount of the exposure metering timer (default setting is about 20 seconds) (p.104) and you can take a picture at the next compensation value. In this case, autofocus works for each image. After about twice the amount of the exposure metering timer elapses, the camera returns to settings for taking the first image.

•When [9. One-Push Bracketing] in the [ACustom Setting 2] menu is set to [On], even if the shutter release button is not continuously pressed fully, all images are automatically shot with one press of the shutter release button.

•You can combine Exposure Bracketing with the built-in flash or an external flash (P-TTL auto only) to change only the flash output continuously. However, when using an external flash, holding the shutter release button down to take consecutive images may cause the second and third images to be taken before the flash is fully charged. Take each image after confirming that charging is complete.

•Select a mode other than l, bor cin the [Drive Mode] screen to cancel the Exposure Bracketing. The setting is canceled when the camera is turned off if [Drive Mode] is set to P(Off) in [Memory] of the [ARec. Mode 5] menu. (p.274)
