The default setting is a shutter speed change in a bracketing
sequence. However, if the camera is set in Manual mode, you can
choose an aperture change instead (Custom Options - Bracket
param. in Manual - 25).
See note at the beginning of this section regarding the difference
between Single and Continuous drive settings. In both cases, the
bracketing function is automatically reset for a new sequence.
A bracketing sequence can be stopped mid-sequence by pressing
the ESC (ON.OFF) button.
As an example, a 5 frame sequence with an EV 1 variation setting at
‘Standard, Over, Under’ would produce: Standard (O EV variation),
+1EV, -1EV, +2EV, -2EV.
