Tip: Bracketing Options
When [AE & flash bracketing] is selected, the camera varies both exposure and flash level. Select
[AE bracketing] t
o vary only exposure, [Flash bracketing] to vary only flash level. Note that flash
bracketing is available in i-TTL and, where supported, auto aperture (qA) flash control modes only
(
0 402, 0 880).
In self
-timer mode, the number o
f copies select
ed for [Aut
o brack
eting] > [
Number o
f shots] will
be cr
eat
ed each time the shutter is released, regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c2
[Self-timer] > [Number of shots].
Tip: Exposure and Flash Bracketing
In continuous release modes, shooting will pause after the number of shots specified in the
bracketing program has been taken. Shooting will resume the next time the shutter-release button
is pressed.
If the camera is turned off before all shots in the sequence have been taken, bracketing will resume
from the first shot in the sequence when the camera is turned on.
Tip: Exposure Bracketing
The settings (shutter speed and/or aperture) altered during exposure bracketing vary with the shooting
mode.

S Aperture

A Shutter speed

M Shutter speed

If [ON] is selected for [ISO sensitivity settings]> [Auto ISO sensitivity control] in the photo
shooting menu, the camera will automatically vary ISO sensitivity for optimum exposure when the
limits of the camera exposure system are exceeded.
If [ON] is selected for [ISO sensitivity settings]> [Auto ISO sensitivity control] in the photo
shooting menu, the camera will vary ISO sensitivity.
Use Custom Setting e6 [Auto bracketing (mode M)] to choose whether the camera varies both
shutter speed and aperture or any one of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity when [OFF]
is selected for [ISO sensitivity settings] > [Auto ISO sensitivity control] in the photo shooting
menu.
Shutter speed will not be adjusted if [ON] is chosen for Custom Setting d7 [Extended shutter
speeds (M)] and a shutter speed slower than 30 s is selected.
