AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE BRACKETING
Many attractive subjects are very rich in contrast, i.e. they have both very
bright and very dark areas. The resulting effect can be quite different, depend-
ing on which sections you base your exposure on. In such cases, you can use
automatic exposure bracketing to produce a series of three shots with gradu-
ated exposures. You can then select the most appropriate picture for further
use.
1. To set a bracketing series, press the upper
EV+/-
direction button (1.23)
twice.
• The corresponding sub-menu appears.
2. Select the desired interval with the left and right direction buttons
(1.24/1.27). Values from +3 to -3EV with
1
/
3
EV increments are available.
3. Confirm the setting by pressing either the shutter release button (1.8) or the
MENU/SET
button (1.25).
• The bracketing symbol (2.1.23) appears.
Notes:
• Depending on the available shutter speed/aperture combination, the work-
ing range of the automatic exposure bracketing can be limited.
• The
EV+/-
direction button is also used to call up the menus for exposure
compensation (see previous section) and ash exposure compensation
(see p. 137). They scroll through in an endless loop and can therefore be
selected by repeatedly pressing the button.
• A set bracketing series remains active until it is set to
Off
(see step 2.), i.e.
after any number of series and even if the camera is switched off.
