BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can
produce blurred pictures. It may not produce the desired results if the subject
moves or the composition is changed while the shutter-release button is
pressed.
When On is selected, a L icon appears in the display ( B 4).
Auto bracketing is used to vary exposure by a selected amount over a series of
pictures, “bracketing” the exposure value selected by the camera or with expo-
sure compensation (
B 28). Use in situations in which it is difficult to guess the
correct exposure.
Auto bracketing is not available when the mode dial is rotated to M. At settings
other than Off, auto bracketing is shown by an icon in the display (
B 4). The
flash turns off automatically when auto bracketing is on.
