AE bracketing

The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure
values for each frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to
obtain (such as a backlit subject or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture
you prefer from a selected number of frames with a variety of different
exposure settings (exposure and compensation values). The pictures are
taken in the following order: Picture with optimum exposure, picture adjusted
in

- direction, and picture adjusted in + direction.

E.g.) When BKT is set to [3F 1.0EV]

Compensation value: 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0
Number of frames: 3
