With auto exposure bracketing, you can bracket the exposure automatically for three (or
two) successive frames, when it is difficult to determine an exposure compensation value.
The number of bracketed frames to be taken, the bracketed shooting sequence,
bracketing margin and other settings can be selected as desired for shooting in auto
bracketing mode.
Auto-Bracketing Mode
1. Turn the shutter release mode selector lever
to the “S” or “C” position.
When set at the “S” position, you can shoot one
frame with each press of the shutter release but-
ton. In the “C” mode, the camera takes three (or
two) frames successively with one press of the
shutter release button.
2. Keep pressing the auto-bracketing button A
for approximately one second, and the auto brack-
eting mark will blink on the top LCD panel.
Turn the rear dial before this indicator goes out,
and change “OF” on the display to “On”.
3. While the auto bracketing mark is blinking,
turn the front dial to change number of frames (3
or 2), sequence of the shots in 2-shot mode
(shown above), and increment (1/3, 1/2, /2/3 or /
1-stop).
The letters (n, u, o) indicate the type of exposure (“n” for normal, “u” for under-
exposure and “o” for over-exposure) and numbers indicate increment (0.3 for 1/3,
0.5 for 1/2, 0.7 for 2/3, and 1.0 for 1/1)
By pressing any other button or leaving the camera for 5 seconds, setting for the
auto bracketing will be stored.
5. After taking pictures, press auto bracketing set button A, turn the rear dial, set auto
bracketing mode to "OF," and release.
Then press the auto bracketing set button or half-press the shutter button to return to the
normal display mode.

4. Press the shutter button, and take the pictures.
When the shutter button is pressed during shooting in auto bracketing mode, the shoot-
ing sequence and auto bracketing mark blink on the LCD inside the viewfinder.
Furthermore, the auto bracketing mark blinks, the bracket step width is displayed,
and the shooting sequence can be checked on the external LCD.
