Auto Bracketing
In some situations, you may fi nd it diffi cult to
select appropriate exposure-compensation and
white-balance settings, and yet not have time to
check the results and adjust settings after each
shot. Auto bracketing can be used to vary these
settings automatically over a series of pictures,
“bracketing” a selected exposure-compensation
or white-balance setting.

AUTO BRACKETING
Option Description
Off
Auto
bracketing
Camera varies exposure with each shot, bracketing current exposure
compensation value (autoexposure bracketing;
36).
Restores normal exposure and white balance.
WB
bracketing
Camera takes three shots each time shutter-release button is fully
pressed, bracketing current white balance setting to produce one pic-
ture with normal white balance, one picture with reddish cast, and one
picture with bluish cast. Recording time roughly triples. Use when un-
sure of appropriate value for white balance.
