• When used with exposure compensation in the ABC Exposure mode, the exposure value

is used as the base value for autobracketing.

• Metering is repeated for each photograph, and compensation determined for the metered

value at that time. It is recommended that the AE lock be set before beginning photogra-

phy if autobracketing without the effects of changing brightness is required.

• If the compensation range exceeds the compensation limits of the camera, photographs

are taken at the limit of the possible compensation values.

• If the main switch is turned “OFF” and “ON” again in the ABC Exposure mode, ABC pho-

tography begins again from the first frame for three frames.

• The flash cannot be used in the ABC Exposure mode.

“ ” The compensation sequence may be changed to over-exposure → standard expo-

sure → under-exposure (page 87).

• When using the selftimer, light entering the viewfinder when the eye is moved away may

interfere with a correct reading of incident light. In such cases, fit the viewfinder shade

adapter to the viewfinder before taking photographs. (page 14)

• The selftimer cannot be used when the bulb mode is set.

• If the shutter button is pressed after the selftimer has been activated, the selftimer time is
