Konica Minolta DiMAGE S404 - Manual (Page 36)

This mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of
taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight
variation in exposure. The bracketing mode is set with the drive-mode button (p.
32). Brackets cannot be made with super-fine images (p. 41).
The order of the bracket series is normal exposure (as indicated by the shutter
speed and aperture displays), underexposure, and overexposure. The exposure
bracket in auto-recording mode is set to 0.5 Ev increments. In multi-function
recording mode the increment can be set to 0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 Ev increments (p. 50).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 23).
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the exposure and focus
for the series. Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to
make the bracket series; three consecutive images will be captured. If the
CompactFlash is filled or the shutter button is released before the series has
completed, the camera will reset and the entire bracket must be made again.
When using flash, there will be a delay between frames as the flash charges. The
remaining number of frames in the bracket series is displayed on the monitor next
to the bracketing icon.
When using exposure compensation (p. 46), the bracketing series will be made in
relation to the compensated exposure. Under extreme conditions, one of the
bracketed exposures may be inaccurate because it is outside the exposure control
range of the camera.
