Varying Settings Automatically: Auto Bracketing
In some situations, you may find it difficult to se-
lect appropriate exposure-compensation and
white-balance settings, and yet not have time to
check the results and adjust settings after each
shot. Auto bracketing can be used to vary these
settings automatically over a series of photographs,
“bracketing” a selected exposure-compensation
or white-balance setting.
Off
Select Off to restore normal exposure and white balance.
On
The camera varies exposure with each shot; the
number of shots in each sequence and the amount
of exposure compensation performed are selected
from the sub-menu shown at right. Bracketing is
performed by varying shutter speed (A and M
modes), aperture (S mode), or shutter speed and
aperture (P mode). No bracketing is performed if
the amount of exposure compensation would ex-
ceed the limits of the camera’s exposure system.
