❚❚Canceling Bracketing
To cancel bracketing, press the BKT button and rotate the main
command dial until the number of shots in the bracketing
sequence is zero (r) and M is no longer displayed in the control
panel on top of the camera. The program last in effect will be
restored the next time bracketing is activated. Bracketing can also
be cancelled by performing a two-button reset (pg. 206), although
in this case the bracketing program will not be restored the next
time bracketing is activated.
A
Exposure and Flash Bracketing
In single frame and self-timer modes, one shot will be taken each time the
shutter-release button is pressed. In continuous low speed and
continuous high speed modes, shooting will pause after the number of
shots specified in the bracketing program have been taken. Shooting will
resume the next time the shutter-release button is pressed.
If the memory card fills before all shots in the sequence have been taken,
shooting can be resumed from the next shot in the sequence after the
memory card has been replaced or shots have been deleted to make
room on the memory card. If the camera is turned off before all shots in
the sequence have been taken, bracketing will resume from the next shot
in the sequence when the camera is turned on.
A
Exposure Bracketing
The camera modifies exposure by varying shutter speed and aperture
(programmed auto), aperture (shutter-priority auto), or shutter speed
(aperture-priority auto, manual exposure mode). When [On] is selected
for [ISO sensitivity settings] > [ISO sensitivity auto control] in shooting
menu and no flash is attached, the camera will automatically vary ISO
sensitivity for optimum exposure when the limits of the camera exposure
system are exceeded.
Custom Setting e5 ([Auto bracketing (mode M)], pg. 328) can be used to
change how the camera performs exposure and flash bracketing in
manual exposure mode. Bracketing can be performed by varying flash
level together with shutter speed and/or aperture, or by varying flash
level alone.
