Advanced Camera Settings – The Shooting Menu
Use this function when unusual lighting conditions make it difficult to deter-
mine the correct exposure or proper white balance settings. Auto bracketing
automatically adjusts these settings over a series of pictures, “bracketing” a
selected Exposure compensation or White balance setting.
Notes on Auto Bracketing
• When AUTO BRACKETING is set to Auto bracketing, the flash is automatically set to B.
• When AUTO BRACKETING is set to Auto bracketing or WB bracketing, Noise reduction
(P.88) has no effect even if set to On.
Exposure Compensation
When Exposure compensation (P.32) and Auto bracketing are set simultaneously, shots will be
bracketed on both sides of the chosen compensation value.
WB Bracketing
WB bracketing cannot be selected if White balance (P.46) is set to White bal. preset.
Auto Bracketing

Auto bracketing

fully pressed, one shot with the current exposure, and two
shots varying the exposure by values of +0.5 and –0.5.
x WB bracketing
(white balance bracketing)
Takes three shots each time the shutter-release button is
fully pressed, bracketing the current white balance setting
(P.46) to produce one picture with normal white balance,
one picture with a bluish cast, and one picture with a red-
dish cast. Recording time roughly triples.
