What Is An Ev - Konica Minolta DiMAGE DiMAGE Z6 Instruction Manual

Number of frames in
bracketing series
Frame counter
The order of the bracket series is normal exposure, underexposure, and overexposure.
The exposure bracket can be made in 0.3 or 0.5 Ev increments. The larger the number,
the greater the difference in exposure between the images in the bracketed series.

When using exposure compensation (p. 41), the bracketing series is made in relation to
the compensated exposure. Under extreme conditions, one of the bracketed exposures
may be inaccurate because it is outside the exposure control range of the camera.

WHAT IS AN EV?

Ev stands for exposure value. A change
of one Ev adjusts the exposure
calculated by the camera by a factor of
two.
The remaining number of frames in the bracket series is
displayed on the monitor next to the bracketing
indicator. If the memory is filled or the shutter button is
released before the series has completed, the camera
will reset and the entire bracket must be made again.
The flash cannot be used with the bracketing drive
mode.
