Auto bracketing
This feature allows you to take a number of pictures of the same scene at different
exposures (
~
“AE bracketing” below) or white balance (
~
“WB bracketing”, P.72).
Useful when you are not sure what exposure or white balance settings are appropriate
and you don’t have time to take several test shots at different settings.
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.
