Press the 4 button twice.

displayed on the LCD panel.

Press the shutter release button halfway.
Focus indicator ] appears in the viewfinder when focused.

Press the shutter release button fully.
Three continuous pictures will be taken, the first with no compensation,
the second with negative compensation, and the third with positive
compensation.
• When the focus mode is set to l (Single mode), the focus is locked in the
first frame position and used for subsequent continuous frames.
• The auto bracketing exposure setting will remain effective for twice as much
time as the metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds) (p.132) when you
release your finger from the shutter release button during auto bracketing,
and you can take the next picture at the next compensation value. In this
case, auto focusing works for each frame. After about twice as much time as
the metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds), the camera returns to
settings for taking the first picture.
• You can combine Auto Bracket with the built-in flash or 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 recharged. Always take one frame at a time after confirming
that charging is complete.
• Auto Bracket is not available when the exposure mode is set to p (Bulb)
mode.
