Auto bracketing

This feature allows you to take a number of pictures of the same scene at different
~
exposures (
Useful when you are not sure what exposure or white balance settings are appropriate
and you don't have time to take several test shots at different settings.

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.
Example: When BKT
is set to 3F 1.0
5
Compensation value : 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0
The exposure compensation values depend on the EV step interval setting that can
be changed in the menu.
