Bracketing

Automatically vary settings over a series of pictures.

  1. Press the DRIVE button and select the desired bracketing option in the drive-mode menu.

  2. Take photographs.

WISO 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.

VWHITE 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.

OAE BKT

Use ASHOOTING 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.

XFILM 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 ASHOOTING SETTING > FILM SIMULATION BKT.

YDYNAMIC 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.

ZFOCUS 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
FRAMES Choose the number of shots.
STEP Choose the amount focus changes with each shot.
INTERVAL Choose the interval between shots.

AUTO

In AUTO mode, the camera calculates FRAMES and STEP automatically.

  1. Select A SHOOTING SETTING in the shooting menu, highlight FOCUS BKT SETTING, and press MENU/OK.

  2. Select AUTO and choose an INTERVAL.

    The view through the lens will be displayed.

  3. Focus on the nearest end of the subject and press MENU/OK.

    The selected focus distance appears as A on the focus distance indicator.

    The same focus range can be chosen by focusing on the farthest end of the subject first.

  4. 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.

  5. Take photographs.

    The camera will calculate values for FRAMES and STEP automatically. The number of frames will appear in the display.
