H Auto Bracketing
Auto bracketing is used to vary exposure by a selected amount over a series of
pictures, “bracketing” the exposure value selected by the camera or with exposure
compensation. Use in situations in which it is difficult to guess the correct
exposure.
At settings other than [Off], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor during shooting (
A 6).

Notes on Auto Bracketing
• Auto bracketing is not available in M mode.
• When exposure compensation is applied (A 34), and [±0.3], [±0.7], or [±1.0] is selected for [Auto
bracketing], the combined exposure compensation values will be applied.
• When a setting other than [Off] is selected for [Auto bracketing], the slowest shutter speed
available is down to 1/2 sec.
