2 Bracketing
The bracketing facility provides an automatic series of captures; one at the standard
exposure setting (Manual or Auto) and the others with pre-determined deviations in EV
from the standard exposure. This is particularly useful for images containing a very wide
tonal range, for example.
Firstly you make an assessment concerning the number of extra frames required, the
order in which they should be taken, and by how much the EV deviation there should be
and the setting made accordingly. The fi rst metered exposure (Manual or Auto) is the EV
that determines the calculations for the bracketing sequence.
Note the diff erence in operation between
Single
and
Continuous
drive settings:
• In
Single
you must press the shutter release button separately for every separate cap-
ture until the sequence is fi nished.
• In
Continuous
you can either maintain the pressure on the button to take all frames
without stopping or you can release the pressure on the button and press again to con-
tinue to the end of the sequence without losing any frames within the set sequence.

A bracketing sequence can be
stopped mid-sequence by press-
ing the ESC (ON.OFF) button.

See note at the beginning of this
section regarding the diff erence
between Single and Continuous
drive settings. In both cases, the
bracketing function is automati-
cally reset for a new sequence.
