• In single-frame shooting, the exposure changes every time
the shutter button is pressed.
• In sequential shooting, hold down the shutter button until
the selected number of frames are taken.
• Releasing the shutter button stops auto bracketing
shooting. When it stops, 0 is displayed in green on the

How AE bracketing compensates exposure in each
shooting mode
Depending on the selected shooting mode, exposure is
compensated in the following way:
P mode : Aperture value and shutter speed
A mode : Shutter speed
S mode : Aperture value
M mode : Shutter speed
TIPS
To apply AE bracketing to the exposure value you have compensated:
j Compensate the exposure value, then use the AE bracketing feature. AE bracketing is applied to
the exposure value you have compensated.

ISO sensitivity setting

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera's light sensitivity and the better its ability to
shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy appearance.
