Select [AF/AE-L Button] in the [A Rec. Mode 4] menu and
press the four-way controller (5).
The [AF/AE-L Button] screen appears.
• When [AF Mode] is set to l (Single mode), the focus position is locked in
the first image and is used for subsequent images.
• When you take your finger off the shutter release button during Exposure
Bracketing, the exposure setting will remain effective for twice the amount of
the exposure metering timer (default setting is approx. 20 seconds) (p.116)
and you can take a picture at the next compensation value. In this case,
autofocus works for each image. After about twice the amount of the
exposure metering timer elapses, the camera returns to settings for taking
the first image.
• You can combine Exposure Bracketing with the built-in flash or an 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 consecutive images may cause the second and third
images to be taken before the flash is fully charged. Take each image after
confirming that charging is complete.
