Auto Exposure Bracketing
DETAILED OPERATION
Auto Exposure Bracketing allows you to shoot in selected compensated
EV values (maximum of ±2 EV) shifting from the automatically set proper
exposure (or selected exposure in Manual exposure mode) for three shots
each time the shutter is released. For example, this is useful in selecting
one shot out of several shots with bracketed exposures after processing
the film, when the subject has pronounced contrast in shooting with
colour slide film and where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal.
1
Rotate the Command Dial while pressing
the Auto Exposure Bracketing ¸ button
to set desired bracketing value (within ±2
EV without combining exposure compen-
sation). The display changes as follows:
•When the bracketing value is set (and while the
exposure meter is on), z appears and = blinks in
the LCD panel, and = and electronic analog
exposure display blink in the viewfinder. Bracketing
value can be confirmed by pressing the ¸ button.
•Shutter speed and aperture in Auto-Multi Program,
aperture in Shutter-Priority Auto and shutter speed
in Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual exposure
mode are bracketed.
•In any of the exposure modes, Flash Exposure
Bracketing and Auto Exposure Bracketing are
simultaneously performed when a Speedlight is
used.

•Each time the shutter release button is depressed,
correct EV, under EV, and over EV exposure are
performed in that order while the blinking electronic
analog exposure display shows the correct, under,
then overexposure. Compensated shutter speed
and aperture values are displayed during shooting.
•If the Exposure Compensation function (page 61) is
also set, bracketing will be combined with the
Exposure Compensation values. It is useful to
perform Bracketing with a compensated value of
over +2 EV or under –2 EV.
•If the end of the film roll is reached during
bracketing, the remaining shots can be taken after
new film has been loaded. Also, if you turn the
power switch off during bracketing, the remaining
shots can be taken after the power is turned back
on.

Auto Exposure Bracketing is completed
and automatically cancelled when the
third shot is taken.
•= and z in the LCD panel and = and the
electronic analog exposure display in the viewfinder
disappear when the bracketing is completed.
•To cancel the bracketing, rotate the Command Dial
while pressing the ¸ button so the display
disappears from the LCD panel. Bracketing is not
cancelled by turning the power switch off.
