5. A Flash Bracketing Function Has Been Added
By changing the flash illumination in steps the exposure for the background not reached
by the flash remains unchanged, while the exposure for the subject illuminated by the
flash is bracketed.
The exposure for the subject is bracketed from ‘optimum’ ‘under exposed’ ‘over
exposed’.

Wait until the flash is charged,
and then press the shutter
button to take the photograph.
Repeat step 3. above twice.
• This differs from the Bracketing (see P56 of
the User’s Manual) in that the shutter is
pressed three times for each frame.
• When flash bracketing is selected, the
numbers at the right of the overlay bar
indicate whether the next photograph is the
1st, 2nd, or 3rd of the three frames.
• Use flash bracketing only after checking
that the BUSY lamp is extinguished. Flash
bracketing will not operate correctly if
photography is begun while this BUSY lamp
is lit (blinking).

(see User’s Manual P55)

balance in accordance with the user’s own white balance sample.

Balance], and press the Edit soft
key.

balance sample and press the
Select soft key.
• The custom white balance is set.
• Ensure that the white balance sample is
large enough to fill the viewfinder.

screen returns to the condition in step 1.
above. Press the Exit soft key to return to
the initial (live image) screen.

selected, or the camera power supply is
switched OFF. Switching the camera power
supply OFF clears the custom white
balance.
