Konica Minolta DiMAGE S414 User Manual

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 25).
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the exposure and focus for
the series. Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to make
the bracket series; three consecutive images will be captured. If the memory card is
filled or the shutter button is released before the series has completed, the camera
will reset and the entire bracket must be made again. When using flash, there will be
a delay between frames as the flash charges. The remaining number of frames in
the bracket series is displayed on the monitor next to the bracketing icon.

This drive mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series
of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. The bracketing
mode is set with the drive-mode button (p. 32). Brackets cannot be made with TIFF images (p. 44).

The order of the bracket series is normal exposure (as indicated by the shutter

speed and aperture displays), underexposure, and overexposure. The

exposure bracket in auto-recording mode is set to 0.5 Ev
increments. In the multi-function recording mode the increment can
be set to 0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 Ev increments in the custom 1 section of
the menu (p. 54).

BRACKETING

When using exposure compensation (p. 50), the bracketing
series will be made in relation to the compensated exposure.
Under extreme conditions, one of the bracketed exposures may
be inaccurate because it is outside the exposure control range of
the camera.
