Focus indicator ] appears in the viewfinder when focused.

Three continuous pictures will be taken, the first with no compensation,
the second with negative compensation, and the third with positive
compensation (when the number of frames is set to [3]).
Bracketng amount
(Step interval)
1/2 EV ±0.5, ±1.0, ±1.5, ±2.0
1/3 EV ±0.3, ±0.7, ±1.0, ±1.3, ±1.7, ±2.0
When the focus mode is set to l (Single mode), the focus is locked in the
first frame position and used for subsequent continuous frames.
When you release your finger from the shutter release button during Auto Bracket,
the Auto Bracket exposure setting will remain effective for twice as much time as
the exposure metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds) (p.143) and you can
take a picture at the next compensation value. In this case, auto focusing works for
each frame. After about twice as much time as the exposure metering timer (default
setting is 20 seconds), the camera returns to settings for taking the first picture.
You can combine Auto Bracket with the built-in flash or external flash (P-TTL auto
only) to change only the flash output continuously. However, when using an external
flash, holding the shutter release button down to take three continuous frames may
cause the second and third frame to be taken before the flash is fully recharged.
Always take one frame at a time after confirming that charging is complete.
Exposure Bracket is not available when the exposure mode is set to
p
(Bulb) mode.
Exposure Bracket and Multi-exposure cannot be used together. The mode
set afterwards is set.
Taking Only Overexposed or Underexposed Pictures
You can use Auto Bracket mode for only underexposure or overexposure shots
by combining the operation with EV compensation (p.161). Auto Bracket is
performed in both cases on the basis of the specified EV compensation value.
