BRACKETING
This mode makes a three image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series of
images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure.The camera is not
limited to exposure brackets, but can also make contrast, saturation, and filter brackets. Only one
image characteristic can be bracketed at a time.The bracketing mode is set with the function dial (p.
44).
RECORDING MODE
Turn the function dial to the drive-mode position (1).While
pressing the function button (2), turn the control dial (3) to set
the bracketing mode.
The order of the exposure bracket series is normal exposure (as indicated by the shutter-speed and
aperture displays), underexposure, and overexposure.The exposure bracket is set to 0.3Ev incre-
ments, but can be adjusted to 0.5Ev or 1.0Ev increments in the custom 2 section of the recording-
mode menu (p. 78).
Set the contrast, color saturation or filter to the desired level; the bracket series is from the Digital
Effect Control setting to one unit under to one unit over. See the Digital Effects Control section on
page 67 to set the contrast, color saturation, and filter. Except for a RAW image, if the contrast or
color saturation is set to the maximum or minimum level (±3), one bracket will be made at ± 4: +3,
+2, +4. A RAW image cannot exceed the maximum and minimum levels and will contain two identi-
cal brackets: +3, +2, +3. A black and white Filter bracket is made to the Filter settings before and
after the set Filter (p. 71). If filter 10 is selected, the bracket series will be 10, 9, 0.
Turn the digital-effect switch to the image characteristic to be bracketed. For
more on the Digital Effect Control, see page 67.
