You can watch the effect of the function on screen during shoot-
ing (brighter or darker).
• Depending on the exposure mode, the exposure gradations are
produced by changing the shutter speed and/or aperture value:
– Shutter speed (A/M)
– Aperture (S)
– Shutter speed and aperture value (P)
• The sequence of shots: underexposure/correct exposure/over-
exposure.
• The working range for automatic bracketing may be limited de-
pending on the available shutter speed/aperture combination.
• With automatic ISO sensitivity control enabled, the sensitivity
calculated by the camera automatically for the raw files will also
be applied to all other shots in the series, i.e. the ISO value will
not change during bracketing. This may mean that the slowest
shutter speed specified under
• The working range for automatic bracketing may be limited (de-
pending on the originally set shutter speed). The specified num-
bers of frames will be taken regardless. Several shots in a series
may consequently have the same exposure values.
• The function remains active until another function is selected
from the submenu. If no other function is select-

• The remaining time until exposure is counted down on the LCD
panel. The self-timer LED at the front of the camera counts
down the delay time. It flashes slowly during the first 10 s, then
fast for the last 2 s.
• The self-timer delay time can be canceled at any time by tap-
ing the shutter button; the relevant settings remain intact.
Notes
• Exposure metering is done first; in autofocus mode, focusing is
first. Only then will the delay time commence.
• The self-timer function is available only for single frame shooting
and for bracketing.
• The function remains active until another function is selected
from the submenu.
