How AE bracketing compensates exposure in each exposure mode
Depending on the selected exposure 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.

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its ability to
shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy appearance.

[AUTO]

: The sensitivity is set automatically according

to the shooting conditions. For [ISO-AUTO
SET]
, you can set the default (value normally
used when the optimal exposure can be
obtained) and upper limit (upper limit of ISO
that automatically changes).

g“ISO-AUTO

SET” (P. 96)

[100 - 3200]: Fixed ISO sensitivity. [ISO STEP] can be changed to [1/3EV] or [1EV].

g“ISO STEP” (P. 96)

Setting display

j Normally, the AUTO setting is effective in P/A/S mode, but you can set it for use in other

shooting modes.
