57Reference: P, S, A, and M Modes / Exposure
Exposure Bracketing
The camera modifi es exposure by varying shutter speed and aperture (programmed auto), aperture
(shutter-priority auto), or shutter speed (aperture-priority auto, manual exposure mode). When On is
selected for Custom Setting 7 (ISO Auto;
88), the camera will automatically vary ISO sensitivity for
optimum exposure when the limits of the camera exposure system are exceeded. In exposure brack-
eting, shutter speed will only be changed after the camera has adjusted ISO sensitivity.
Exposure and Flash Bracketing
In continuous mode, shooting will pause after the number of shots specifi ed in the bracketing pro-
gram. Selecting or Digital Vari-Program modes will cancel bracketing; bracketing will resume when
mode P, S, A, or M is selected. Exposure and fl ash bracketing are cancelled when WB bracketing is
selected for Custom Setting 13 (Auto BKT set; 90).
Resuming Exposure or Flash Bracketing
If the memory card fi lls before all shots in the sequence have been taken, shooting can be resumed
from the next shot in the sequence after the memory card has been replaced or shots have been de-
leted to make room on the memory card. If the camera is turned off before all shots in the sequence
have been taken, bracketing will resume from the next shot in the sequence when the camera is
turned on.

Compose a photograph, focus, and shoot. The camera will vary
exposure and fl ash level with each shot. At default settings,
the fi rst shot will be taken at the current values for exposure
and fl ash compensation and the following shots at modifi ed
values. If the bracketing sequence consists of three shots, the
bracketing increment will be subtracted from the current val-
ues in the second shot and added in the third shot, “bracketing”
the current values. The modifi ed values can be higher or lower
than the maximum and minimum values for exposure and
fl ash compensation. The modifi ed shutter speed and aperture
are displayed in the control panel and viewfi nder.
While bracketing is in eff ect, a bracketing progress indicator
will be displayed in the control panel. The segment will dis-
appear from the indicator when the unmodifi ed shot is taken,
the indicator when the shot with the negative increment
is taken, and the indicator when the shot with the positive
increment is taken.
To cancel bracketing, press the button and rotate the main command dial until the num-
ber of shots in the bracketing sequence is zero and is no longer displayed in the control
panel. The program last in eff ect will be restored the next time bracketing is activated.
