Varying Settings over a Series of Photos:
Auto Bracketing
In some situations, you may find it difficult to se-
lect appropriate exposure-compensation and
white-balance settings, and yet not have time to
check the results and adjust settings after each
shot. The options in the auto bracketing menu can
be used to vary these settings automatically over
a series of photographs, “bracketing” a selected
exposure-compensation or white-balance setting.
Option
Description

On
Camera varies exposure with each shot; the num-
ber of shots and the amount of exposure compen-
sation performed can be selected from a sub-menu
(see below). Values are added to the exposure-
compensation value selected with the

ter speed in programmed auto, aperture-priority
auto, and manual exposure modes, and in shutter-
priority auto by varying aperture.
WB Bracketing
The camera takes three shots each time the shut-
ter-release button is fully pressed, varying white
balance to produce one image with the white bal-
ance selected in the WHITE BALANCE menu
(

with a bluish cast.
