Press the shutter release button fully.
Continue to press the shutter release button until three shots have been
captured.
Three consecutive images will be taken according to the order set in
[7. Auto Bracketing Order] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu.
• Exposure Bracketing is not available in \ (Moving Object) of Picture mode,
and R (Kids) or Y (Pet) of H (Scene) mode.
• Exposure Bracketing is not available when the shutter speed is set to h.
• Exposure Bracketing and Multi-exposure cannot be used at the same time.
The mode set last is used.
• When [AF Mode] is set to l (Single mode), the focus is locked in the first
frame position and is used for subsequent frames.
• When you take your finger off the shutter release button during Exposure
Bracketing, the exposure setting will remain effective for twice as much time
as the exposure metering timer (default setting is approx. 20 seconds)
(p.106) and you can take a picture at the next compensation value. In this
case, auto focusing works for each frame. After about twice as much time as
the exposure metering timer elapses, the camera returns to settings for
taking the first picture.
• You can combine Exposure Bracketing with the built-in flash or an external
flash (P-TTL auto only) to change only the flash output continuously.
However, when using an external flash, holding the shutter release button
down to take three continuous frames may cause the second and third frame
to be taken before the flash is fully charged. Always take one frame at a time
after confirming that charging is complete.
Taking only overexposed or underexposed pictures
You can use Exposure Bracketing mode for only underexposure or
overexposure shots by combining it with EV Compensation (p.107).
Exposure Bracketing is performed in both cases on the basis of the
specified EV compensation value (up to ±3 EV).
