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.
