<3. Taking photographs with the Autobracketing Exposure Mode (ABC Exposure mode)>
The ABC Exposure mode can be used to take a series of three pho-
tographs with three exposures: standard, overexposed, and underex-
posed. This mode allows photography under very subtle lighting condi-

ter button to catch that important shot.

exposure compensation.

the ABC mode. The “ABC” and
“0.0”(compensation range) appear on
the display panel.

pensation range.
