Exposure
The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure values for each
frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to obtain (such as a backlit
subject or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture you prefer from a selected number of
frames with a variety of different exposure settings (exposure and compensation values). The
pictures are taken in the following order: Picture with optimum exposure, picture adjusted in –
direction, and picture adjusted in + direction.
Compensation value: 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0
• The compensation value will change if the EV step is changed.

Number of frames: 3
Start shooting.
• In single-frame shooting, the exposure changes every
time the shutter button is pressed.
• In sequential shooting, hold down the shutter button until
the selected number of frames are taken.
• Releasing the shutter button stops auto bracketing
shooting. When it stops, 0 is displayed in green on
the super control panel.
How AE bracketing compensates exposure in each shooting mode
Depending on the selected shooting mode, exposure is compensated in the following way:
P mode : Aperture value and shutter speed
A mode : Shutter speed
S mode : Aperture value
M mode : Shutter speed
To apply AE bracketing to the exposure value you have compensated:
j Compensate the exposure value, then use the AE bracketing feature. AE bracketing is applied to
the exposure value you have compensated.
