Autoexposure Bracketing (AEB)
Take the pictures. The current film
advance mode will be used.
On the viewfinder’s exposure level scale,
the exposure level indicator will mark the
respective bracketing amount as each
bracketed shot is taken.
In the continuous shooting mode, holding
down the shutter button will take all three
bracketed shots continuously. The
shooting will then stop automatically.
When AEB is used with the self-timer, the
three bracketed shots will be taken in
succession after the 2- or 10-second self-
timer delay.
Canceling AEB
Follow steps 1 and 2 to set the AEB to
0.
AEB will also be canceled by changing lenses,
rewinding the film, replacing the film, setting a
bulb exposure, having a flash-ready Speedlite,
pressing the < > button, and setting the
<> switch to < >.

To indicate that AEB is in progress, the AEB icon on the LCD panel and
indicator in the viewfinder will blink until all the bracketed shots are taken.
Custom Function CF-6 enables the AEB amount to be set in half-stop increments.
See page 112.
Custom Function CF-9 can change the bracketing sequence to underexposure,
standard exposure, and overexposure. See page 114.
Custom Function CF-9 can prevent AEB from being canceled by changing lenses,
rewinding the film, replacing the film, and setting the < > switch to < >. See
page 114.

No viewfinder information will be displayed during continuous shooting of the
bracketed shots.
After the AEB amount is set, exposure compensation can also be set to obtain
underexposed or overexposed bracketing. See “Setting Exposure Compensation”
on page 75.
AEB cannot be used together with bulb exposures or flash.
If mirror lockup is set with Custom Function CF-12 and AEB is used, single-frame
shooting will take effect even if the film advance mode is set to continuous
shooting.
Bracketing amount set to ±1 stop.
