8. Auto Exposure Bracketing [AEB] Use auto exposure bracketing to take a sequence of pictures at different exposures. When this function is set, the camera automatically takes three exposures in sequence while shifting the exposure for each picture. The bracketing amount can be set in 1/3-stop increments up to ±3 stops from the metered exposure value. When the shutter button is pressed, three frames are exposed according to the current film winding mode (refer to "2. Changing the Film Winding Mode" on page 67), in the sequence: underexposure → correct (metered) exposure → overexposure. Auto exposure bracketing is particularly effective when using slide film, which produces noticeably different results with even small exposure variations. Underexposure (-1/3) Correct (metered) exposure (0) Overexposure (+1/3) Custom Function (Refer to pages 86-87) Custom Function (Refer to pages 88-89) The AEB step amount can also be input in 1/2-stop increments. The shooting sequence can be changed to: correct (metered) exposure → underexposure → overexposure. This function also lets you set the AEB step amount by simultaneously pressing the AF mode and shooting mode selectors while turning the main dial. If auto exposure bracketing is used with custom function F-12 set to mirror-up mode, the camera will operate in single exposure mode regardless of the current film winding mode (single exposure, continuous exposure). 45

8. Auto Exposure Bracketing [AEB]
Use auto exposure bracketing to take a sequence of pictures at different
exposures. When this function is set, the camera automatically takes
three exposures in sequence while shifting the exposure for each picture.
The bracketing amount can be set in 1/3-stop increments up to
±
3 stops
from the metered exposure value. When the shutter button is pressed,
three frames are exposed according to the current film winding mode
(refer to “2. Changing the Film Winding Mode” on page 67), in the
sequence: underexposure
correct (metered) exposure
overexpo-
sure.
Auto exposure bracketing is particularly effective when using slide film,
which produces noticeably different results with even small exposure vari-
ations.
The shooting sequence can be changed
to: correct (metered) exposure
under-
exposure
overexposure. This function
also lets you set the AEB step amount by
simultaneously pressing the AF mode
and shooting mode selectors while turn-
ing the main dial.
The AEB step amount can also be input
in 1/2-stop increments.
Underexposure (–1/3)
Correct (metered) exposure (0)
Overexposure (+1/3)
Custom Function
(Refer to pages 86–87)
Custom Function
(Refer to pages 88–89)
If auto exposure bracketing is used with custom function F-12 set to mirror-up mode, the
camera will operate in single exposure mode regardless of the current film winding mode
(single exposure, continuous exposure).
