How AE bracketing compensates exposure in each exposure mode
Depending on the selected exposure mode, exposure is compensated in the following way:
P mode : Aperture value and shutter speed
A mode : Shutter speed
S mode : Aperture value
M mode : Shutter speed
To apply AE bracketing to the exposure value you have compensated:
j Compensate the exposure value, then use the AE bracketing feature. AE bracketing is applied to
the exposure value you have compensated.
The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its ability to
shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy appearance.
[AUTO] : The sensitivity is set automatically according
to the shooting conditions. For [ISO-AUTO
SET], you can set the default (value normally
used when the optimal exposure can be
obtained) and upper limit (upper limit of ISO
that automatically changes).
g“ISO-AUTO
SET” (P. 96)
[100 - 3200]: Fixed ISO sensitivity. [ISO STEP] can be changed to [1/3EV] or [1EV].
g“ISO STEP” (P. 96)

• 125 and 1250 are displayed in the viewfinder as 120 and 1200, respectively.
To automatically set the optimal ISO in M mode:

shooting modes. g“ISO-AUTO” (P. 96)
