Functions Shooting

• When the AF mode is set to l (Single mode), the focus is locked in the first frame position and used for subsequent continuous frames.

•When you release your finger from the shutter release button during Auto Bracket, the Auto Bracket exposure setting will remain effective for twice as much time as the exposure metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds) (p.99) and you can take a picture at the next compensation value. In this case, auto focusing works for each frame. After about twice as much time as the exposure metering timer, the camera returns to settings for taking the first picture.

•You can combine Auto Bracket with the built-in flash or 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 three continuous frames may cause the second and third frame to be taken before the flash is fully recharged. Always take one frame at a time after confirming that charging is complete.

•Exposure Bracket is not available when the exposure mode is set to p (Bulb) mode.

Taking Only Overexposed or Underexposed Pictures

You can use Auto Bracket mode for only underexposure or overexposure shots by combining the operation with EV compensation (p.100). Auto Bracket is performed in both cases on the basis of the specified EV compensation value.
