Taking Photographs—Exposure
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 se-
lected. 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
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 bracket-
ing is activated. Bracketing can also be cancelled by performing a two-
button 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. What settings are affected
depends on the exposure mode:

Programmed auto Shutter speed and aperture

Manual Shutter speed
Shutter-priority auto
The modified values for shutter speed and aperture are displayed during shooting.
