qPress the shutter release button halfway down to focus the subject. The bar graph is displayed in the viewfinder and the current exposure compensation amount blinks.

Memo

•The focus is locked at the first picture and remains locked until all pictures are taken.

wHold down the shutter release button. In the viewfinder, the bar graph indi- cates the correct exposure for the first frame. For the second frame, it indi- cates the minus side for underexpo- sure. For the third frame, it indicates the plus side for overexposure.

Memo

If you let go of the shutter release but- ton during auto bracketing, the auto bracketing exposure setting will remain effective for about 20 sec. After that, the auto bracketing exposure for the first bracketed frame will take effect.

Memo Taking pictures underexposed or overexposed only

You can use the auto bracketing mode for only underexposure or overex- posure shots by combining the operation with exposure compensation.
