( : The default setting)
When using the flash, press the shutter button frame by frame regardless of the setting.
The image is shot in the order of 0 (correct), - (under), and + (over). The order can be changed in [Bracket
order] in the Recording menu (page 87).
The base exposure is set at the first frame in the bracket. The base exposure moves if exposure
compensation is used.
Normally, the focal point changes in every shooting. The focal point is fixed only in continuous bracket
shooting when AF mode is set to [Single-shot AF] or [Automatic AF] with an still subject.
When the flash is not used, ambient bracket shooting is performed and the shutter speed and aperture are
changed to accommodate bracket shooting. When the flash is used, flash bracket shooting is performed
and the flash light is changed.
In ambient bracket shooting, the shutter speed and aperture change in program auto mode, the shutter
speed changes in aperture priority mode, and aperture changes in shutter speed priority mode. Normally,
the shutter speed changes in manual mode. You can change the aperture by pressing and holding the AEL
(AE Lock) button while taking a picture.
Ambient light: Any light other than the flash light that shines on the scene for an extended period of time,
such as natural light, a light bulb, or a fluorescent light.

In ambient bracket shooting, the Ev scale appears in the viewfinder, too, but it does not appear in flash
bracket shooting.
