Auto Bracketing
In some situations, you may fi nd it diffi cult to select ap-
propriate 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 automatically over a series
of pictures, “bracketing” a selected exposure-compen-
sation or white-balance setting.
Option Description
Off Restores normal exposure and white balance.
Auto
bracketing
Camera varies exposure with each shot, bracketing current exposure
compensation value (autoexposure bracketing; 108).
WB
bracketing
Camera takes three shots each time shutter-release button is fully
pressed, bracketing current white balance setting ( 53) to produce
one picture with normal white balance, one picture with bluish cast,
and one picture with reddish cast. Recording time roughly triples.
Use when unsure of appropriate value for white balance.
