Resetting Autoexposure Bracketing
Autoexposure bracketing starts over from the highest exposure compensation
value when changes are made to any settings that affect exposure, including
exposure mode, exposure compensation, shutter speed, aperture, sensitivity,
flash mode, and Variable Power (
152). Bracketing is also reset when the
camera enters sleep mode ( 143) or User Set A is selected.
Continuous Shooting
If the shutter-release button is held down at settings of Continuous Low and
HS Sequence (
108), shooting will pause after each bracketing cycle is com-
pleted.
Auto Flash and Sensitivity Settings
If auto flash is used ( 83), the flash setting for the first photograph in each
bracketing cycle applies to the remaining photographs. If the flash fires for
the first photograph in a three-shot cycle, it will also fire for the remaining two.
If the flash is not required for the first photograph, it will not fire for the re-
maining two.
If sensitivity (ISO equivalency) is set to AUTO ( 97), the sensitivity value for
the first photograph in each bracketing cycle applies to the remaining photo-
graphs.
Cancelling Autoexposure Bracketing
Autoexposure bracketing can be cancelled by selecting Off from the AUTO
BRACKETING menu or turning the camera off.
Confirming Autoexposure Bracketing
While bracketing is in effect, the icon in the control panel flashes, and a
BKT icon appears in the monitor with the selected exposure increment.
