Auto Bracketing
In some situations, you may fi nd it diffi cult to select ap-
propriate 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 pictures, “bracketing” a selected exposure-compen-
sation or white-balance setting.

Auto
bracketing
Camera varies exposure with each shot, bracketing current exposure
compensation value (autoexposure bracketing;
100).
Description
WB
bracketing
Camera takes three shots each time shutter-release button is fully
pressed, bracketing current white balance setting to produce one
picture with normal white balance, one picture with reddish cast,
and one picture with bluish cast. Recording time roughly triples. Use
when unsure of appropriate value for white balance.
