When the AF Mode is set to l (Single mode), the focus is locked in the
first frame position and used for subsequent continuous frames.
When you take your finger off 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.103) 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, 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 charged. Always take one frame at a time after confirming
that charging is complete.
Exposure Bracket is not available when the shutter speed is set to h.
Taking only overexposed or underexposed pictures
You can use Auto Bracket mode for only underexposure or
overexposure shots by combining the operation with EV
Compensation (p.104). Auto Bracket is performed in both cases on
the basis of the specified EV compensation value.
