Number of frames in
bracketing series
Frame counter
When using exposure compensation (p. 41), the bracketing series will be made in relation to the
compensated exposure. Under extreme conditions, one of the bracketed exposures may be inaccu-
rate because it is outside the exposure control range of the camera.
The remaining number of frames in the bracket series is dis-
played on the monitor next to the bracketing indicator. If the
memory is filled or the shutter button is released before the
series has completed, the camera will reset and the entire
bracket must be made again. The flash cannot be used with
the bracketing drive mode.
The order of the bracket series is normal exposure, underexposure, and overexposure. The expo-
sure bracket can be made in 0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 Ev increments. The larger the number, the greater the
difference in exposure between the images in the bracketed series.

What is an Ev?
Ev stands for exposure value. A change of
one Ev adjusts the exposure calculated by
the camera by a factor of two.
