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.

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.14).


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.

camera and your setting value).

The exposure bracketing can be used with 4 different modes.

that auto bracketing mode until you set the bracketing amount to “0.0”.
