first frame position and used for subsequent continuous frames.
• Even if you take your finger off the shutter release button during Auto
Bracket. the Auto Bracket exposure setting will remain effective for twice as
much time as the exposure metering timer (default setting is approximately
20 seconds) (p.114) and you can take a picture at the next compensation
value. In this case. auto focusing works for each frame. After about twice as
much time as the exposure metering timer, the camera returns to settings for
taking the first picture.
• You can combine Auto Bracket with the built-in flash or external flash (P-TTL
auto only) to change only the flash output continuously. However, when using
an external flash, holding the shutter release button down to take three
continuous frames may cause the second and third frames to be taken before
the flash is fully charged. Always take one frame at a time after confirming
that charging is complete.
• Exposure Bracketing is not available when the exposure mode is set to B
(Bulb) mode.
• Exposure Bracketing and Multi-exposure cannot be used at the same time.
The mode set last is used.
• When [7. One-Push Bracketing] in the [C Custom Setting 1] menu (p.85) is
set to [On], even if the shutter release button is not continuously pressed
fully, all frames are automatically shot with one press of the shutter release
button.
Taking Only Overexposed or Underexposed Pictures
You can use Auto Bracket mode for only underexposure or
overexposure shots by combining the operation with EV
compensation (p. 115). Auto Bracket is performed in both cases on
the basis of the specified EV compensation value. (Up to +8 EV)
