AE bracketing The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure values for each frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to obtain (such as a backlit subject or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture you prefer from a selected number of frames with a variety of different exposure settings (exposure and compensation values). The pictures are taken in the following order: Picture with optimum exposure, picture adjusted in - direction, and picture adjusted in + direction. Example: When BKT is set to [3F 1.0EV] -1.0EV ±0 +1.0EV Compensation value: 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0 The exposure compensation values depend on the EV step interval setting that can be changed in the menu. Exposure compensation value can be adjusted 6 within a range of ±1.0. g "EV step" (P. 123) Number of frames : 3 Exposure, image and color 1 Menu [ ] [AE BKT] 2 Use the control dial to set.
