successive shots. This is called AEB.

During AEB shooting, the <w> icon in the viewfinder and the <h> icon
on the top LCD panel will blink.
The AEB setting will be canceled automatically if the power switch is set
to <2> or if the flash is ready.
When the shooting mode is bulb or you use flash, AEB cannot be used.
If the drive mode is set to single shooting <u> or <6>, you must press the
shutter button three times. When <o> or <p> is set and you hold down
the shutter button completely, the three bracketed shots will be taken
continuously. Then the camera will stop shooting. When <k> or <l> is
set, the three bracketed shots will be taken after a 10-sec. or 2-sec. delay.
AEB can also be combined with exposure compensation.
