AUTO BRACKETING
This function of the camera lets you take a sequence of pictures of the same
subject at three different exposure levels; Appropriate Exposure, Under Exposure
and Over Exposure. If it is difficult to determine the proper exposure, please use
this function.
1
Set the “D”-dial to position.
2
Turn the “C”-dial to set the bracketing amount.
(It can be set in 1
⁄ 3 EV step increments up to
±3 EV).
3
Set the “D”-dial to drive area (P.1 4 ).
■ The camera will take three pictures in the following sequence; Appropriate
exposure, under exposure and over exposure.
■ For example: If you set the bracketing amount to 2.0, the indicator in the
viewfinder will show as follow.
P , A , S mode
M mode
First Frame
0.0
* Measured Value
Second Frame
2.0
-2.0 EV deviation from Measured Value
Third Frame
2.0
+2.0 EV deviation from Measured Value
(* Measured value is the difference between the correct exposure value of the
camera and your setting value).
■ The exposure bracketing can be used with 4 different modes.
P Mode ; Both shutter speed and aperture value will be changed.
A Mode ; Only shutter speed will be changed.
S Mode ; Only aperture value will be changed.
M Mode ; Only shutter speed will be changed.
WARNING !!
• Once you set the auto bracketing mode, the camera will continuously hold
that auto bracketing mode until you set the bracketing amount to “0.0”.
