• When used with exposure compensation in the ABC Exposure mode, the exposure value
is used as the base value for autobracketing.
• Metering is repeated for each photograph, and compensation determined for the metered
value at that time. It is recommended that the AE lock be set before beginning photogra-
phy if autobracketing without the effects of changing brightness is required.
• If the compensation range exceeds the compensation limits of the camera, photographs
are taken at the limit of the possible compensation values.
• If the main switch is turned "OFF" and "ON" again in the ABC Exposure mode, ABC pho-
tography begins again from the first frame for three frames.
• The flash cannot be used in the ABC Exposure mode.
" The compensation sequence may be changed to over-exposure → standard expo-
"
sure → under-exposure (page 87).
