[. . . ] Flash and auto-exposure bracketing If a Speedlight is attached when bracketing is in effect, both flash level (TTL level as determined for the main subject) and auto-exposure will be changed for each exposure regardless of the exposure mode. Camera settings can be changed so that only one of flash-exposure bracketing or auto-exposure bracketing will be performed. See "Custom Settings, " item 11.

If the camera is set to continuous shooting mode (operating mode C), the camera will take the specified number of shots while the shutter-release button is held down and then stop automatically. In singleframe shooting or when the self timer is on (see "Self Timer Mode"), photographs are taken one at a time each time the shutter-release button is fully pressed. Bracketing can be cancelled before all the photographs in the series have been taken by holding down the BKT button and rotating the main command dial until BKT is no longer displayed in the control panel. The bracketing program currently selected will be recalled the next time bracketing is used. Tips The shutter-speed and aperture values displayed during shooting reflect the exposure compensation value for the current photograph. Bracketing can be combined with exposure compensation (see "Exposure Compensation"). This can be used to achieve exposure compensations of more than +2. 0 or less than ­2. 0 during bracketing. If the camera is turned off before you have taken all the photographs in the sequence, you can continue from where you left off when the camera is turned back on. If the memory card fills up before you have completed the sequence, you can continue from where you left off after deleting images or inserting a new memory card. By default, the camera shoots photographs with a negative compensation value before shooting those with a positive compensation value. This can be changed using Custom Setting 3 (see "Custom Settings"). Camera Settings: Auto Bracketing 55 Capture Preview Mode When the camera is set to single-frame shooting, or the self timer is used, you can use capture-preview mode to view photographs in the LCD monitor before they are saved to the memory card. This makes it possible to delete unwanted photographs before they are saved. To use capture preview: 1 Pressing the button, rotate the main command dial to select item 1 in the custom settings menu (at default settings, "1-0, " for "Item 1, option 0, " will be displayed in the rear control panel). 2 With the button held down, rotate the sub-command dial to set the menu option to "1" ("capture-preview mode enabled"). When you release the control panel. button, CUSTOM will be displayed in the rear 3 Set the camera to single-frame shooting or self-timer mode. Photographs taken at these settings will be displayed in the LCD monitor before they are saved to the memory card. If the camera has been set to display the histogram and image highlights (see "Playback"), these will be shown as well. If the camera is connected to a television set, photos will also be displayed on the television screen. 56 Camera Settings: Capture Preview Mode If no other operation is performed, the monitor will stay on for the length of time specified in Custom Setting 18 or the playback menu "Auto Off" option (if this time is shorter than the time required to record the photograph, the monitor will remain on for five seconds after the image has been recorded to the card). The operations that can be performed while the photograph is on display are as follows: To record the photograph Press the button. The monitor will turn off and the photograph will be recorded to the memory card. To delete the photograph before it is recorded to the memory card Half-press the shutter-release button, or press the or button. The photograph will be deleted without being recorded to the memory card and the monitor will turn off. To turn the monitor on or off Press the button to turn the monitor on or off. [. . . ] It will not be possible to play back or delete images until you have chosen a different folder or used HIDE IMAGE to allow at least one image to be displayed (see "Playback"). A computer has overwritten a photograph on the flash memory card and the file can no longer be displayed in playback mode. Delete the photograph as described in "Playback" or reformat the card (see "First Steps: Insert the Memory Card") after backing up all photographs you would like to keep.
