* 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.

Based on the selected white balance, and the color temperature/color filter, 
three images are recorded with the white balance shifted.

* Mired: a unit to indicate the color conversion quality in color temperature filters.
