Sony DSLR-A230 User Manual

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 recording mode is set to AUTO or Scene 

Selection.

* 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.

• In bracket shooting, the same number of indices as the number of 

recordable images is displayed on the EV scale. However, in flash bracket 
shooting, the indices are not displayed in the viewfinder.

• When the bracket shooting starts, the indices that indicate already 

recorded images start to disappear one by one.

• If the shutter button is pressed halfway down and released, “br 1” 

appears. “Fbr 1” appears for the flash bracket. When flash bracket 
shooting starts, it indicates what number the next frame is, for instance, 
“Fbr 2,” “Fbr 3.”
