EXPOSURE BRACKETING
Many attractive objects are rich in contrast, which means they have
very bright and very dark areas. The image effect can be dramatically
different, depending on which of these areas you choose to align your
exposure with. The automatic bracketing function in aperture-prior-
ity mode allows you to produce several alternatives with graduated
exposure values and varying shutter speeds. You can then select the
image you like best or use relevant photo editing software to calcu-
late an image with a particularly broad contrast spectrum (HDR).

You can select the desired number of frames (3 or 5). The exposure
difference, which can be set via EV Steps , can be up to 3 EV.
