.Bracketing
Automatically vary settings over a series of pictures.
-
Press the [DRIVE/DELETE] button and select the desired bracketing option in the drive-mode menu.
-
Take photographs.
W[ISO BKT]
Select a bracketing amount (±1/3, ±2/3, or ±1) in the drive mode display. Each time the shutter is released, the camera will take a picture at the current sensitivity and process it to create two additional copies, one with sensitivity raised and the other with sensitivity lowered by the selected amount.
V[WHITE BALANCE BKT]
Select a bracketing amount (±1, ±2, or ±3) in the drive mode display. Each time the shutter is released, the camera takes one shot and processes it to create three copies: one at the current white balanced setting, one with fine-tuning increased by the selected amount, and another with fine-tuning decreased by the selected amount.
O[AE BKT]
Use A[SHOOTING SETTING] > [AE BKT SETTING] to choose the bracketing amount, bracketing order, and number of shots. Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera will take the specified number of shots: one using the metered value for exposure and the others over- or under-exposed by multiples of the selected bracketing amount.
Regardless of the bracketing amount, exposure will not exceed the limits of the exposure metering system.
X[FILM SIMULATION BKT]
Each time the shutter is released, the camera takes one shot and processes it to create copies with different film simulation settings, chosen using A[SHOOTING SETTING] > [FILM SIMULATION BKT].
Y[DYNAMIC RANGE BKT]
Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes three shots with different dynamic ranges: 100% for the first, 200% for the second, and 400% for the third.
While dynamic range bracketing is in effect, sensitivity will be restricted to a minimum of ISO 640; the sensitivity previously in effect is restored when bracketing ends.
Z[FOCUS BKT]
Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes a series of photos, varying focus with each shot. The A[SHOOTING SETTING] > [FOCUS BKT SETTING] item offers a choice of [MANUAL] and [AUTO] bracketing.
Do not adjust zoom during shooting.
Use of a tripod is recommended.
[MANUAL]
In [MANUAL] mode, you choose the following.
| Option | Description |

The same focus range can be chosen by focusing on the farthest end of the subject first.
-
Focus on the farthest end of the subject and press [DISP/BACK]. The selected focus distance ([B]) and focus range ([A] to [B]) appear on the focus distance indicator.
Instead of pressing the [DISP/BACK] button, you can press [MENU/OK] and select [A] again.
-
Take photographs. The camera will calculate values for [FRAMES] and [STEP] automatically. The number of frames will appear in the display.
