Auto Bracketing
In situations where it might be difficult to obtain a
proper exposure, auto bracketing lets you shoot
the same subject at three or five different
exposures. In WB Bracketing, the white balance is
bracketed in three shots.

Option Description
Off Bracketing is off and normal exposure control is used.
On
Auto bracketing is performed with the selected number of
bracketing shots and with a compensated EV value offset from
the automatically metered exposure.
WB Bracketing
The white balance is bracketed when you press the shutter
release button fully giving three shots made up of one with the
selected white balance, a reddish image and a bluish image.
The time required to save bracketed images to the memory
card is three times that required for a normally recorded image.
— On —
Each time you press the shutter release button, either
three or five shots are taken ranging from over exposed EV
values to under exposed EV values. When photographing
a high-contrast image, the image with the desired
exposure can be selected from the set of bracketed shots.
Number of shots, compensated EV value Bracketing order
3, ± 0.3 0, +0.3, –0.3
3, ± 0.7 0, +0.7, –0.7
3, ± 1.0 0, +1.0, –1.0

To perform auto bracketing or white balance bracketing in Continuous or VGA
Sequence mode (p. 100), hold down the shutter release button fully. A selected
number of consecutive shots are taken, after which the sequence stops
automatically.
