How to set Auto Exposure Bracketing.

Solution

Use the auto exposure bracketing in AE and manual exposure modes to take a sequence of pictures at different exposures. When this function is set, one press of the shutter button automatically takes three pictures in sequence while shifting the exposure for each picture. The bracketing amount can be set in 1/2 stop increments up to +/- 2 stops from the correct exposure value

Auto exposure bracketing is particularly effective when using slide film which produces noticeably different results with even small exposure variations

  • Three successive frames are exposed automatically even when single exposure mode is set

Set the command dial to AEB
  • AEB lights in the LCD panel

Turn the main dial to set the desired bracketing amount

  • The bracketing amount is shown in the LCD panel as a dot display and a numerical value. If "1.0" is set, for instance, three pictures are taken in the following sequence: underexposure (1.0 stops), correct exposure (+/- 0 stops), and overexposure (+1.0 stops)
  • The compensation level is also displayed in the viewfinder

Set the command dial to the desired shooting mode and take the pictures.

  • To cancel auto exposure bracketing, repeat steps 1 and 2 to reset the bracketing amount to 0
  • Auto exposure bracketing cannot be used in bulb mode or when using flash
  • Auto exposure bracketing is automatically canceled when film is removed
  • If you wish to shift the bracketed exposure, you can add exposure compensation using the quick control dial. In this case the LCD panel will not display the correct values, but exposure will be made correctly
