AE bracketing
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 exposure compensation values depend on the EV step interval setting that
can be changed in the menu. Exposure compensation value can be adjusted
within a range of ±1.0.
