• Value factor (mm)

[Off, 1, 10, 100, 1000]

Used as a multiplier for Distance bracketing value.

• ISO bracketing value

[0 – 100]

Set this value to bracket via ISO. This value is multiplied by the Value factor below to arrive at
the final ISO value that will be used for bracketing. A value of 2, with a Value factor of 10, will
increase or decrease the ISO by 20 for following exposures.

• Value factor

[Off, 1, 10, 100]

Used as a multiplier for the ISO bracketing value.

• Bracketing type

[+/-, , +]

With all bracketing types the first exposure uses the current exposure settings of the camera. On
following exposures the exposure settings are adjusted as described below.

+ / –

This bracketing type will alternatively apply the bracketing value by first subtracting then
adding. The sequence goes like this…
0 Ev, -1Ev, +1Ev, -2Ev, +2Ev, -3Ev, +3Ev, etc. Bracketing will continue until you release the
shutter. So for example lets say you set the TV bracketing to “2 Ev”, and when you half-press
the shutter you notice an exposure time of 1 second. When you fully depress the shutter you will
get exposures at these times: 1 sec, ¼ sec, 4 sec, 1/15 sec, 15 sec, 1/60 sec, 15 sec, 1/250 sec,
15 sec, etc.

This bracketing type works as above but will only reduce the exposure value. Using the above
example, the exposure times would be 1 sec, ¼ sec, 1/15 sec, 1/60 sec, 1/250 sec, etc.

+

This bracketing type works as above but will only increase the exposure value. Using the above
example, the exposure times would be 1 sec, 4 sec, 15 sec. Once the camera’s limit is reached,
subsequent exposures will occur at the maximum (or minimum) setting.

• Clear Bracket Values on Start

Enable [] / Disable [ ]

Enable this option to turn off bracketing when the camera is turned off.

• Add raw-suffix

Enable [] / Disable [ ]

In bracketing mode you now have the option to add a suffix to the raw filename, so that later you
can easily identify the RAWs that were created during bracketing, it is disabled at default.

Custom Auto ISO

< Extra Photo Operations < Main Menu

This feature has 2 purposes: Allow the user to define the exact ranges of ISO used in

Auto ISO

and

Auto-HI

. As an example: Expand the

Auto ISO

range from 80-200 to 50-400.

Give additional information to the camera to allow it to select the optimal shutter speed (to avoid
blur or get the right artistic exposure) and ISO instead of some sub-optimal default...

As an example - Use a faster shutter and higher ISO when shooting sports, but go for a slower
