Varying Settings Little-by-Little over a Series of
Shots (Bracketing)
Bracketing is used to vary shooting settings such as exposure and white balance
over a series of shots. Depending on the setting, you may be able to combine
several different forms of bracketing. Use bracketing if you are unsure what settings
to use or lack the time needed to change settings during shooting. You can also
store bracketing settings and later recall them simply by turning bracketing on.
• This setting can be accessed via:
- The BKT button (P. 240) - The menus (P. 241)
• Flash bracketing cannot be used in combination with:
HDR photography, interval-timer photography, keystone compensation, multiple exposure,
High Res Shot, or fi sheye correction.
• Exposure, fl ash, and focus bracketing are not available in mode
B
.
• Bracketing will not start if there is not enough space on the memory card for all the shots in
the bracketing sequence.
AE BKT (Exposure Bracketing)
Vary exposure over a series of shots. You choose the amount of variation and the
number of shots. The camera takes a shot at a new exposure setting each time
the shutter button is pressed all the way down. Bracketing ends after the selected
number of shots has been taken. In burst shooting modes, the camera will take
pictures while the shutter button is pressed all the way down, ending when the
selected number of shots has been taken.
The following options are available:
• Bracketing amount: 0.3, 0.7, or 1.0 EV
• Number of shots: 2, 3, 5, or 7
A t icon is displayed in green until all the shots in the bracketing sequence have
been taken. The fi rst shot is taken at current exposure settings, followed fi rst by the
shots with reduced exposure and then by the shots with increased exposure.
The settings used to alter exposure vary with the shooting mode.
