3) Press Enter (DRIVE) button on the grip
4) Turn the front control wheel to access the options, that are:
Number of Exposures (the number of exposures
required in the sequence)
Sequence (the sequential order of the over- or
under- exposures)
Step (the amount of EV variation from the standard
exposure setting)
(A drop shadow will be displayed beneath the selected symbol, for
example
)
5) In turn the rear wheel to choose the number of frames
required:
2, 3, or 5.

screen to activate the function. Press On (AF button). Note
that this now reads Off and the line of text at the bottom of

Half-press the shutter release button to standby mode for this
function (press the shutter release button again (full press) for

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.
