The Shooting Menu
Auto Bracketing
In some situations, you may find it difficult to select
appropriate Exposure compensation and White
balance settings, and yet not have time to check
the results and adjust settings after each shot. Auto
bracketing can be used to vary these settings auto-
matically over a series of pictures, “bracketing” a selected exposure compen-
sation or white balance setting.
Select from the following three options and press .
Restrictions on Auto Bracketing
Auto bracketing can not be used simultaneously with Continuous, 5 shot buffer,
Multi-shot 16, or BSS. The camera takes pictures with the latest setting among those op-
tions.
While White balance (86) is set to White bal. preset, the WB bracketing option in Auto
bracketing can not be used for shooting.
If the space in the memory or on the memory card is capable of storing only a few images, only
that number of images will be stored.
Press Button in (Auto shooting) mode to se-
lect Auto bracketing ( 81), and then press .

Each time the Shutter-release Button is fully
pressed, the camera takes three shots, one shot
with the current exposure, and two shots varying
the exposure by values of +0.5 and -0.5 compen-
sation.
WB bracketing
The camera takes three shots each time Shutter-
release Button is fully pressed, bracketing current
white balance setting to produce one picture with
normal white balance, one picture with bluish cast,
and one picture with reddish cast. Recording time
roughly triples.
