Note
• When you shoot images using the viewfinder, use the eyepiece cover (page 28).
Bracket shooting allows you to shoot several images, each with different 
degrees of exposure. Specify the value of deviation (steps) from the base 
exposure, and the camera shoots three images while automatically shifting 
the exposure. Press and hold the shutter button until the shooting stops.
When the flash is fired, flash bracket shooting is used to shift the amount of 
flash light. To shoot, press the shutter button shot by shot.
Notes
• When the mode dial is set to M, the exposure is shifted by adjusting the shutter 
speed.
• When you adjust the exposure, the exposure is shifted based on the compensated 
value.
• The bracket cannot be used when the exposure mode is set to AUTO or Scene 
Selection.
