EXPOSURE BRACKETING
Many attractive objects are rich in contrast, which means they have
very bright and very dark areas. The image effect can be dramat-
ically different, depending on which of these areas you choose
to align your exposure with. The automatic bracketing function in
aperture priority mode allows you to produce several alternatives
with graduated exposure values and varying shutter speeds. You can
then select the picture you like best or use relevant picture editing
software to calculate an image with a particularly broad contrast
spectrum (HDR).

Exposure Compensation Exposure Compensation
• The marked exposure values change positions according to the
settings selected. In the case of exposure compensation, the
scale also shifts.
• The selected exposure compensation value will be applied to
the entire series of shots.

produced by changing the shutter speed and/or aperture value:

• With automatic ISO sensitivity control enabled, the sensitivity
calculated by the camera automatically for the raw picture will
also be applied to all other pictures in a series, i.e. the ISO value
will not change during bracketing. This may mean that the slowest

• The focus range for automatic bracketing may be limited (depend-

of frames will be taken regardless. Several shots in a series may
consequently have the same exposure values.

MULTISHOT

In multishot mode, up to 8 individual images are taken with a very
small offset. To do so, the sensor is moved minimally between the
individual shooting (by less than a pixel width). The individual images
are then merged into a single shot with extremely high resolution
(96 MP) and a standard size DNG image is additionally saved.
Multishot images are highly sensitive to camera shake. It is therefore
recommended to place the camera on a tripod.
