[. . . ] G Turn the < > dial while pressing the shutter button down halfway, or within ( 4 ) seconds of pressing the shutter button down halfway. G Positions on the [+] side indicate increased exposure, and positions on the [ ­ ] side indicate decreased exposure. Decreased exposure Increased exposure 3 Advanced Operations G Once set, the exposure compensation remains in memory after the Main Switch is set to < OFF >. G To cancel exposure compensation, return the compensation setting to the standard exposure position < >. 4 Take the picture. G To prevent the < > dial from turning inadvertently and changing the exposure compensation, enter the setting and then set the Quick Control Dial switch to < OFF >. G In < > (Manual) mode, because you determine the exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture) yourself, the exposure compensation function does not operate. You can set the camera so that you can set the exposure compensation amount in 1/3-stop increments. (C. Fn-4-1¡122) 77 Autoexposure Bracketing When using autoexposure bracketing, the camera automatically changes the exposure level within the set range (up to +/­2 stops in 1/2-stop increments) for three successive frames. The three bracketed shots are exposed in the selected drive mode (¡63) in the following order: correct exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure. Standard exposure (0) Decreased exposure (­1. 0) Increased exposure (+1. 0) 1 2 : Correct exposure : Decreased exposure : Increased exposure From the menu, select [AEB]. G Press the < MENU> button. G Turn the < > dial to select [AEB], then press the < > button. Set the AEB level. G Turn the < > dial to set the AEB level you want, then press the < > button. G Press the < MENU> button to clear the screen and exit the menu. 3 Take the picture. The bracketing sequence will be standard exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure. (¡63) G When using continuous shooting, press and hold the shutter button down fully to take all three bracketed shots continuously, and then stop automatically. G When using AEB with the self-timer, the camera takes the three bracketed shots in succession after the 10-second timer delay. G AEB will be automatically cancelled when the Main Switch is set to <OFF>, the lens is changed, the flash is charged, the battery pack or the CF card is replaced. Canceling AEB 78 Autoexposure Bracketing G Neither flash nor bulb exposures can be used in AEB mode. G If you set mirror lockup with C. Fn-3-1 and then use AEB, single-frame shooting takes effect even if the drive mode is set to continuous shooting. G To indicate that AEB is in progress, the < > AEB icon on the LCD panel and the < > indicator in the viewfinder blink until all three bracketed shots have been taken. G If the drive mode is set to single-frame shooting, you must press the shutter button three times to complete the bracketing sequence. G In manual exposure mode, AEB is applied by changing the shutter speed. In this case, if exposure compensation causes the exposure to fall outside the indicated exposure level, the viewfinder display looks as follows. In all cases, the exposures are taken according to both the AEB and exposure compensation settings. In < >, < >, < > and < > modes 3 Advanced Operations : AEB set to +/­ 1 stop. : With exposure compensation of ­1 stop : With exposure compensation of ­1. 5 stops : With exposure compensation of ­2 stops In < > mode : Center exposure ­2 stops from standard exposure : Center exposure more than ­2 stops from satandard exposure G You can change the AEB settings in 1/3-stop increments. (C. Fn-4¡122) In this case, the AEB indicator on the LCD panel looks like this. AEB settings in 1/3-stop increments : ­1/3 AEB settings in 2/3-stop increments : ­2/3 : +2/3 : +1/3 G You can change the sequence to decreased exposure, standard exposure, or increased exposure. (C. Fn-7¡124) 79 AE Lock AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a place other than the point of focus.
