• When the focus mode is set to l, the focus position is locked in the first

image and is used for subsequent images.

• When you take your finger off the shutter release button during Exposure

Bracketing, the exposure setting will remain effective for twice the amount

of the meter operating time (p.101) (default setting is about 20 seconds) and

you can take a picture at the next compensation value. After about twice the

amount of the meter operating time elapses, the camera returns to settings

for taking the first image.

• When [7. One-Push Bracketing] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu is set to

[On], even if the shutter release button is not continuously pressed, three

pictures are automatically taken with one press of the shutter release button.

• Select [Single Frame Shooting] in the Drive Mode setting screen to cancel

Exposure Bracketing. The setting is canceled automatically when the camera

is turned off if you clear the check box for [Drive Mode] in [Memory] of

the [A Rec. Mode 4] menu. (p.224)

• You can combine Exposure Bracketing with the built-in flash or an external

flash (P-TTL auto only) to continuously change only the flash output.

• If you use Exposure Bracketing frequently, you can assign it to the |/Y

button. (p.171)
