Ae Bracketing - Olympus E-3 Instruction Manual

AE bracketing

The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure values for each
frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to obtain (such as a backlit
subject or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture you prefer from a selected number of
frames with a variety of different exposure settings (exposure and compensation values). The
pictures are taken in the following order: Picture with optimum exposure, picture adjusted in –
direction, and picture adjusted in + direction.
e.g.) When BKT is set to [3F 1.0EV]

-1.0EV
Compensation value: 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0
