BRACKETING
This drive 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. Contrast, saturation, and filter brackets can also be made.

Turn the function dial to the drive mode position
(1).
Press the function button in the center of the dial
(2). Turn the front control dial to select the
bracketing drive mode (3). Use the rear control
dial (4) to switch among continuous-advance,
single-frame advance, and Digital Effect brackets;
the Digital Effect bracket depends on the position
of the Digital Effect switch (p. 77). Press the
shutter-release button partway down or press the
function button to set the mode.
Continuous-advance bracket - the order of the exposure bracket series is
normal exposure (as indicated by the camera), underexposure, and
overexposure. The exposure bracket is set to 0.3Ev increments, but can be
changed to 0.5Ev increments in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 96). If the
memory 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.
Digital Effect bracket - for filter, color saturation, or contrast brackets. Set the
contrast, color saturation or filter to the desired level; the bracket series is
from the Digital Effects Control setting to one unit under to one unit over. See
the Digital Effects Control section on page 77 to set the contrast, color
saturation, and filter.
Single-frame advance bracket - the same as the continuous-advance
bracket except that the shutter-release button must be pressed for each
exposure. Focus does not lock with the first frame.
