EXPOSURE BRACKETING
• To cancel, move the drive-mode lever to a different mode.
• The normal sequence (for a 5 frame bracket in 1/2 increments) is;
Normal -0.5EV +0.5EV
However by selecting Custom 11-2, the following sequence is possi-
ble; (p 169.)
-1.0EV -0.5EV Normal
• Exposure is locked on the first frame of the series.
• P mode (programmed autoexposure) exposures are bracketed by
changing both the aperture and shutter speed.
• S (shutter priority) mode and P mode exposures are bracketed by
S
changing the aperture.
• M mode (manual), A mode (aperture priority) and P
are bracketed by changing the shutter speed.
• Press the AE-lock button when the shutter is released to bracket using
the aperture in manual (M) mode.
Single Frame Advance
• The number above the bracket indicator in the display and also in the
viewfinder, increases each time you take a picture.
• Film can be changed in the middle of the bracketed series.
• Turn the camera off, or select another drive mode to cancel single
frame advance bracketing.
Continuous Advance
• Removing your finger from the shutter-release button before the series
is complete resets the camera to the first frame of the bracket.
• Continuous advance bracketing is cancelled at the end of the roll.

Meter Index
When bracketing is selected, the meter index appears in the
viewfinder.
• If exposure compensation is also selected, the whole bracketing
series will be shifted.
• Meter index doesn't appear in the viewfinder while adjusting the incre-
ment and size of the bracketing.
• Every time the picture is taken, the corresponding bar will disappear.
Bracketing increment - 0.7EV
Size of bracket - 3 frames
• If a 1/2EV exposure increment is selected with a 0.3 or 0.7EV
exposure bracketing increment, or if a 1/3EV exposure increment is
selected with a 0.5EV exposure bracketing increment, then the posi-
tion of the bar in the meter index shown in the viewfinder will be slight-
ly shifted. However, the exposure will be exactly as set.
• If you press the display-selection button, the
meter-index display appears in the navigation
display. Exposure bracketing index is shown in
the upper mid-area with
With the exposure history display, the next exposure value is reversed
printed to tell you that camera setting is different.
Dial setting only. The actual bracketing value may
not be as indicated in the reverse printed area.
Actual exposure values for the previous 5 expo-
sures.
Bracketing increment - 0.5EV
