After setting the drive mode to bracketing, turn the digital effects

switch to the exposure-compensation setting. The order of the

bracket series is normal exposure (as indicated by the shutter

speed and aperture displays), underexposure, overexposure. The

exposure bracket is set to 1/3 stop increments, but can be

adjusted to 1/2 or 1 stop increments in the custom 1 section of the

recording-mode menu (p. 80).

Compose the picture as described in the basic-operation section (p. 29). Press the

shutter-release button partway down (1) or press the AF/AEL button (2) to

lock the exposure and focus for the series; the camera will continue to focus

during the series if set to continuous AF (p. 68). Press and hold

the shutter-release button all the way down (3) to make the

bracket series; three consecutive images will be captured.

After setting the drive mode to bracketing, turn the digital

effects switch to the contrast or color-saturation setting.

Set the contrast or color saturation to the desired level; the

bracket series is from one unit under to one unit over the

set level. Except for a RAW image, if the the contrast or

color saturation is set to the maximum or minimum level

(±3), one bracket will be made at ± 4: +3, +2, +4. A RAW

image cannot exceed the the maximum and minimum

levels and will contain two identical brackets: +3, +2, +3.

See the digital-effects-controller section on page 62 to set

contrast and color saturation.

Compose the picture as described in the basic-operation section (p. 29). Press the

shutter-release button partway down (1) or press the AF/AEL button (2) to lock the

exposure and focus for the series; the camera will continue to focus during the series if

set to continuous AF (p. 68). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way

down (3) to make the bracket series; three consecutive images will be captured. The

frames in the series are count down on the monitors next to the bracketing icon.

RECORDING MODE

If the CompactFlash card 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.

With super fine and RAW image qualities or when using flash, the bracket will not

advance automatically; the shutter-release button must be pressed for each frame of

the series. Once the series begins, the focus and exposure values are set and do not

have to be made again. The remaining number of frames in the bracket series is

displayed on the monitors next to the bracketing icon.

NOTES ON BRACKETING

This mode makes a three image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a

series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in

exposure. The camera is not limited to exposure brackets, but can also make contrast

and color saturation brackets. Only one image characteristic can be bracketed at a

time. The bracketing mode is set with the function dial (p. 40).
