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, 0.5, 0.7 or 1.0
Number of frames: 2, 3, 5, or 7
• The available compensation value differs depending on the number of frames.
• The compensation value and the number of frames will change if the EV step is changed.
