Taking Photographs-Exposure II Controlling How the Camera Sets Exposure 4 Compose a photograph, focus, and shoot. The camera will vary exposure and/or flash level shot-by-shot according to the bracketing program selected. Modifications to exposure and flash level are added to those made with exposure compensation ( 86) and flash exposure compensation ( 102). When exposure or flash bracketing is in effect, the icons in the control panel and viewfinder II II II will flash. A segment will disappear from the bracketing indicator after each shot. When the unmodified shot is taken, the middle segment will disappear ( / / ). The right seg- ment will disappear when a shot with negative modification is taken ( ), the left segment when a shot with positive modification is taken ( ). Bracketing begins again when all shots in the sequence are taken. To cancel bracketing, press the BKT button and rotate the main command dial until BKT is no longer displayed in the control panel on top of the camera. The program last in effect will be restored the next time bracketing is activated. Bracketing can also be cancelled by performing a twobutton reset ( 110), although in this case the bracketing program will not be restored the next time bracketing is activated. Exposure Bracketing When AE & Flash or AE Only is selected for Custom Setting 11, the camera will modify exposure by varying shutter speed and/or aperture.
