3 To take the first photograph in the series, compose the photograph, focus, and
shoot. If the shutter-release button is held down with the mode dial set to C
(continuous mode), shooting will end automatically once the number of shots
specified in the bracketing program (two or three) has been taken. In single-
frame and self-timer modes, one photograph is taken each time the shutter-
release button is fully pressed. To cancel bracketing before all photographs in the
series have been taken, press the BKT button and rotate the main command dial
until BKT is no longer displayed in the control panel on top of the camera. The
program selected at the time auto bracketing was cancelled will be restored the
next time auto bracketing is used.
During shooting, the camera shows the modified values for shutter speed and aperture.
Bracketing can be combined with exposure compensation to produce compensation values
greater than +2.0 or less than –2.0 while bracketing is in effect.
If the camera is turned off before all photographs in the sequence have been taken, bracketing
will resume from the next shot in the sequence when the camera is turned on. If the memor y
card fills up before all photographs in the sequence have been taken, shooting can be resumed
from the next shot in the sequence after images have been deleted or a new memor y card
inserted.
3—Bracketing Order ( pg. 162)
This setting can be used to change the bracketing order so that bracketing proceeds from
underexposure to overexposure.
