Aeb (Auto Exposure Bracketing) - Canon EOS A2 Instructions Manual

9. AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing)
Use auto exposure bracketing in AE and ma-
nual exposure modes to take a sequence of
pictures at different exposures. When this
function is set, the exposure is shifted (brac-
keted) for three successive pictures in the
sequence: correct exposure — underexpo-
sure — overexposure. The bracketing
amountcan be setin 1/2-stop increments up
to +2 stops from the metered exposure
value.

Auto exposure bracketing is particularly ef-
fective when using slide film, which produces
noticeably different results with even small
exposure variations.
e When this function is combined with con-
tinuous exposure ( œ ) or high-speed
continuous exposure ( y ), holding the
shutter button pressed automatically
takes three exposures in sequence while
shifting the exposure for each picture.
1) Press the function button so that AEB ap-
pears in the LCD panel.
2) Turn the main dial to set the desired brac-
keting amount.
* The bracketing amount is shown in the
LCD panel as both a graphic level dis-
play and a numerical value. If "0.5" is set,
for example, three pictures are taken in
the following sequence: correct expo-
sure (+0 stop), underexposure (-0.5
stop) and overexposure (+0.5 stop).
The bracketing amount is also dis-
played in the viewfinder.
