Autoexposure Bracketing (AEB) With autoexposure bracketing, the camera automatically changes the exposure level within the set range for three successive frames. The bracketing amount centers on the standard exposure (or exposure compensation setting), and the exposure can be varied up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. The three bracketed shots are exposed in the following sequence: standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure. The film advances in the current film advance mode (see "Switching the Film Advance Mode" on page 85). standard exposure (0) Underexposure (­1/3 stop) Overexposure (+1/3 stop) 1 Press < and hold down the > button and < > button simultaneously. · The panel. set the desired bracketing · The bracketing amount is indicated numerically and shown on the exposure compensation scale on the LCD panel. 77 06.

Bracketing amount set to ±1 stop. To indicate that AEB is in progress, the AEB icon on the LCD panel and indicator in the viewfinder will blink until all the bracketed shots are taken. Canceling AEB Follow steps 1 and 2 to set the AEB to 0. · AEB will also be canceled by changing lenses, rewinding the film, replacing the film, setting a bulb exposure, having a flash-ready Speedlite, pressing the < > button, and setting the < > switch to < >. Custom Function CF-6 enables the AEB amount to be set in half-stop increments. Custom Function CF-9 can change the bracketing sequence to underexposure, standard exposure, and overexposure. Custom Function CF-9 can prevent AEB from being canceled by changing lenses, rewinding the film, replacing the film, and setting the < > switch to < >.
