be able to take a non-flash picture. While you hold down
the Selected button, the flash is disabled.
▪ Bracketing burst – Normally, during a bracketing
sequence with the shutter release set to Single Frame
Release Mode—the S next to CL and CH on the Release
mode dial—you have to press the Shutter-release button
once for each of the images in the bracket. The only way
to shoot all the images in the bracketed series without
letting up on the Shutter-release button is to set the
Release mode dial to CL or CH. If you set Bracketing
burst, you can hold down the Selected button, while also
holding down the Shutter-release button, and the camera
will take all the images in the bracket without letup. This
seems a bit redundant to me. I think I’d rather just set the
Release mode to CL-Continuous-low or
CH-Continuous-high release mode and take the
bracketed burst.
This applies to AE, Flash, and ADL bracketing, which
take one image for each shutter release. WB bracketing
is mentioned in the manual too, but since it takes the
entire bracket in one shutter release, what’s the point? If
you use this function for WB bracketing and hold down
the Shutter-release button, you’ll create multiple groups
of bracketed images on your memory card. Remember,
WB bracketing takes the entire bracket in one shutter
press. Multiple shutter releases will capture numerous
multi-image WB brackets. Be careful with this function
when using WB bracketing.
▪ Matrix metering – If you do not use Matrix metering as
your primary metering system but want to use it
occasionally, this setting allows you to turn on Matrix
