Notes
• When you press the shutter button without looking into the viewfinder, close the
eyepiece shutter with the eyepiece shutter lever.

Shooting with Exposure bracket

Bracket shooting allows you to shoot several images, each with different
degrees of exposure. This camera is equipped with an auto bracket
function. Specify the value of deviation (steps) from the base exposure, and
the camera shoots while automatically shifting the exposure. You can
choose an image that has the brightness you like after shooting is finished.
The base exposure is set at the first shot in the bracket.
Base exposure
After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released
about ten seconds.
When the self-timer is activated, audio signals and the self-
timer lamp indicate the condition. The self-timer lamp flashes
quickly and the audio signal sounds quickly right before the
shooting.
After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released
about two seconds.
This is convenient to reduce the camera shake because the
mirror moves upward before shooting.
