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. e.g.) When BKT is set to [3F 1.0EV] -1.0EV ±0 +1.0EV 4 Compensation value: 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0 • The compensation value will change if the EV step is changed. g"EV STEP" (P. 94) Number of frames: 3 Exposure Menu MENU[X][AE BKT] AE BKT WB BKT FL BKT AE BKT OFF 3F 0.3EV 3F 0.7EV 3F 1.0EV CANCEL SELECT GO Start shooting. • In single-frame shooting, the exposure changes every time the shutter button is pressed. • In sequential shooting, hold down the shutter button until the selected number of frames are taken. • Releasing the shutter button stops auto bracketing shooting. When it stops, 0 is displayed in green on the super control panel. Viewfinder The exposure value for the next shot is displayed during shooting. How AE bracketing compensates exposure in each shooting mode Depending on the selected shooting mode, exposure is compensated in the following way: P mode : Aperture value and shutter speed A mode : Shutter speed S mode : Aperture value M mode : Shutter speed  TIPS To apply AE bracketing to the exposure value you have compensated: j Compensate the exposure value, then use the AE bracketing feature. AE bracketing is applied to the exposure value you have compensated. 50 EN
