<3. Taking photographs with the Autobracketing Exposure Mode (ABC Exposure mode)>
The ABC Exposure mode can be used to take a series of three pho-
tographs with three exposures: standard, overexposed, and underex-
posed. This mode allows photography under very subtle lighting condi-
tions without the need to determine exposure. Continue pressing the shut-
ter button to catch that important shot.
* ABC stands for Automatic Bracketing Control.
In the ABC Exposure mode, the shutter speed and aperture are controlled for automatic
exposure compensation.
