Bracketing amount
(Step interval)

1/3 EV ±0.3, ±0.7, ±1.0, ±1.3, ±1.7, ±2.0
When the focus mode is set to l (Single mode), the focus is locked in the
first frame position and used for subsequent continuous frames.
When you release your finger from the shutter release button during Auto
Bracket, the Auto Bracket exposure setting will remain effective for twice as
much time as the exposure metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds)
(p.99) and you can take a picture at the next compensation value. In this
case, auto focusing works for each frame. After about twice as much time as
the exposure metering timer (default setting is 20 seconds), the camera
returns to settings for taking the first picture.
You can combine Auto Bracket with the built-in flash or external flash (P-TTL
auto only) to change only the flash output continuously. However, when using
an external flash, holding the shutter release button down to take three
continuous frames may cause the second and third frame to be taken before
the flash is fully recharged. Always take one frame at a time after confirming
that charging is complete.
Exposure Bracket is not available when the exposure mode is set to p (Bulb)
mode.
Exposure Bracket and Multi-exposure cannot be used together. The mode
set last is used.
When [8. One-Push Bracketing] in the [A Custom Setting] menu is set to
[On], even if the shutter release button is not continuously pressed fully, all
frames are automatically shot with one press of the shutter release button.
