Taking Photographs-Advanced Photography Resetting Autoexposure Bracketing Autoexposure bracketing starts over from the highest exposure compensation value when changes are made to any settings that affect exposure, including exposure mode, exposure compensation, shutter speed, aperture, sensitivity, flash mode, and Variable Power ( 152). Bracketing is also reset when the camera enters sleep mode ( 143) or User Set A is selected. Continuous Shooting If the shutter-release button is held down at settings of Continuous Low and HS Sequence ( 108), shooting will pause after each bracketing cycle is completed. Auto Flash and Sensitivity Settings If auto flash is used ( 83), the flash setting for the first photograph in each bracketing cycle applies to the remaining photographs. If the flash fires for the first photograph in a three-shot cycle, it will also fire for the remaining two. If the flash is not required for the first photograph, it will not fire for the remaining two. If sensitivity (ISO equivalency) is set to AUTO ( 97), the sensitivity value for the first photograph in each bracketing cycle applies to the remaining photographs. Cancelling Autoexposure Bracketing Autoexposure bracketing can be cancelled by selecting Off from the AUTO BRACKETING menu or turning the camera off. Confirming Autoexposure Bracketing While bracketing is in effect, the icon in the control panel flashes, and a BKT icon appears in the monitor with the selected exposure increment. 126
