After setting the drive mode to bracketing, turn the digital
effects switch to the contrast or colour-saturation setting.
Set the contrast or colour saturation to the desired level;
the bracket series is from one unit under to one unit over
the set level. Except for a RAW image, if the the contrast or
colour 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 the maximum and minimum
levels and will contain two identical brackets: +3, +2, +3.
See the digital-effects-controller section on page 62 to set
contrast and colour saturation.
Compose the picture as described in the basic-operation section (p. 29). Press the
shutter-release button partway down (1) or press the AF/AEL button (2) to lock the
exposure and focus for the series; the camera will continue to focus during the series if
set to continuous AF (p. 68). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way
down (3) to make the bracket series; three consecutive images will be captured. The
frames in the bracket series is countdown on the monitors next to the bracketing icon.

If the CompactFlash card is full or the shutter button is released before the series has
completed, the camera will reset and the entire bracket must be made again.
With super fine and RAW image qualities or when using flash, the bracket will not
advance automatically; the shutter-release button must be pressed for each frame of
the series. Once the series begins, the focus and exposure values are set and do not
have to be made again. The remaining number of frames in the bracket series is
displayed on the monitors next to the bracketing icon.
