With autoexposure bracketing the camera automatically changes the exposure level within the set range for three successive frames. The bracketing amount centers on the correct exposure ( or the exposure compensation setting) and the exposure can be varied up to 2 stops in half stops. The three bracketed shots are exposed in the following sequence: correct exposure, underexposure and overexposure. The film advances according to the current picture-taking mode. Bracketing is useful for obtaining the desired exposure of effect, especially with reversal film which has a narrow exposure latitude.

Set the Command Dial to a Creative Zone mode
Press the function button until the function setting pointer points to
Turn the Main Dial to set the desired bracketing amount
- The bracketing amount is displayed on the LCD panel. For example, if it is set to 0.5 the bracketing sequence will be: correct exposure, underexposure by -0.5 stop and overexposed by +0.5 stop.
- To cancel autoexposure bracketing, set the bracketing amount to 0.0
If the set bracketing amount exceeds 2 stops, the display will be as shown on the left. Autoexposure bracketing and the bracketing amount will still work properly
Turn the Main Dial or wait 4 seconds until the bracketing amount takes effect
Take the bracketed shots with the film advance mode set with the current picture-taking mode.
- The exposure level scale in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel will show the bracketing amount for each bracketed shot
- The AEB symbols function setting pointer and dot will blink while the bracketed pictures are taken
