Description
How to set Auto Exposure Bracketing on the EOS 20D and EOS 5D and EOS 30D.
Solution
With auto exposure bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically changes the exposure level up to +/- 2 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots.
Standard exposure
Decreased exposure
Increased exposure
1. Select [AEB].
Turn the <> dial to select [ AEB], then press <>.
2. Set the AEB amount.
Turn the <> dial to set the AEB amount, then press <>.
The <> and AEB level will appear on the LCD panel.
3. Shoot.
The three bracketed shots will be exposed in the following sequence: standard exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure.
As shown on the left, the respective bracketing amount will be displayed as each bracketed shot is taken.
The current drive mode will be used for the bracketing.
Neither flash nor bulb exposures can be used in AEB mode.
If the drive mode is set to continuous, the three bracketed shots will be taken continuously and then the shooting will stop. If the drive mode is set to single image, you must press the shutter button three times.
If the self-timer/remote control has been set, the three bracketed shots will be taken continuously.
If C.Fn-12-1 is set for mirror lockup and AEB is set, only one bracketed shot will be taken at a time even in the continuous shooting mode.
