Taking Photographs—Exposur
e
Re sum ing Exposure or Flash Bracketing
If the mem o ry card fi lls before all shots in the sequence have been taken, shooting
can be resumed from the next shot in the sequence after the memory card has been
re placed or shots have been deleted to make room on the memory card. If the camera
is turned off before all shots in the sequence have been taken, brack et ing will resume
from the next shot in the sequence when the cam era is turned on.
Exposure Bracketing
The camera modifi es exposure by varying shutter speed and aperture (programmed
auto), aperture (shutter-priority auto), or shutter speed (aperture-priority auto, manual
exposure mode). When On is selected for Custom Setting b1 (ISO auto) and no
Speedlight is attached, the camera will automatically vary ISO sensitivity for optimum
exposure when the limits of the camera exposure system are exceeded. If Custom
Setting e5 (Auto BKT set) is set AE only or to AE & Flash with no Speedlight at-
tached and On is selected for Custom Setting b1 (ISO auto), the camera will vary ISO
sensitivity without varying shutter speed or aperture, regardless of the setting chosen
for Custom Setting e6 (see below).
e6—Manual Mode Bkting ( 204)
This option controls how the camera performs exposure and fl ash bracketing in man-
ual exposure mode. Bracketing can be performed by varying fl ash level together with
shutter speed and / or aperture, or by varying fl ash level alone.
e7—Auto BKT Order ( 204)
This option can be used to change the bracketing order.
