• The base exposure is set at the first shot in the bracket. The base exposure moves if exposure 
compensation is used.
• Normally, the focal point changes in every shooting. The focal point is fixed only in continuous bracket 
shooting when the focus mode is set to Single-shot AF or Automatic AF with an still subject.
• When the flash is not used, ambient* bracket shooting is performed and the shutter speed and aperture are 
changed to accommodate bracket shooting. When the flash is used, flash bracket shooting is performed 
and the flash light is changed.
• In ambient bracket shooting, the shutter speed and aperture change in program auto mode, the shutter 
speed changes in aperture priority mode, and aperture changes in shutter speed priority mode. Normally, 
the shutter speed changes in manual mode. You can change the aperture by pressing and holding the AEL 
(AE Lock) button while taking a picture.
* Ambient light: Any light other than the flash light that shines on the scene for an extended period of 
time, such as natural light, a light bulb, or a fluorescent light. 
The EV scale in bracket shooting
When bracket shooting is selected, the EV scale is changed.
• In ambient bracket shooting, the EV scale appears in the viewfinder, too, but it does not appear in flash 
bracket shooting.
