As a rule of thumb, use a positive value for exposure compensation when the background is brighter than the main subject, a negative value when the background is darker than the main subject. Viewfinder display ­0. 3 EV +2 EV At values other than ± 0, a indicator appears in the viewfinder and in the control panel on top of the camera and the "0" at the center of the electronic analog exposure display will blink. The current exposure-compensation setting can be confirmed at any time by pressing the button, or by viewing the electronic analog exposure display. 98 2 Frame the photograph, focus, and shoot. Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure compensation to zero, or by performing a two-button reset. Exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off. ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHY--EXPOSURE COMPENSATION 2--EV Steps for Exposure Control ( pg. 161) This setting can be used to set the increments for exposure compensation to 1/2 or 1 step. 13--Easy Exposure Compensation ( pg. 167) This setting can be used to allow exposure to be set with the command dials alone. 99 Auto Bracketing When auto bracketing is in effect, the camera varies exposure automatically with each shot (to a maximum of three shots), raising or lowering exposure by a predetermined amount (up to ± 2 EV) relative to the value selected by the camera or chosen using exposure compensation. the ro1 Pressing mainBKT button (A), untate the command dial til BKT is displayed in the control panel on top of the camera (B).

Using Custom Setting 11, you can program the camera so that bracketing affects only the flash level or only the exposure value. 100 The bracketing programs available depend on the size of the EV steps selected using Custom Setting 2.

In singleframe and self-timer modes, one photograph is taken each time the shutterrelease button is fully pressed. To cancel bracketing before all photographs in the series have been taken, press the BKT button and rotate the main command dial until BKT is no longer displayed in the control panel on top of the camera. The program selected at the time auto bracketing was cancelled will be restored the next time auto bracketing is used. ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHY--AUTO BRACKETING During shooting, the camera shows the modified values for shutter speed and aperture. Bracketing can be combined with exposure compensation to produce compensation values greater than +2. 0 or less than ­2. 0 while bracketing is in effect. If the camera is turned off before all photographs in the sequence have been taken, bracketing will resume from the next shot in the sequence when the camera is turned on. If the memory card fills up before all photographs in the sequence have been taken, shooting can be resumed from the next shot in the sequence after images have been deleted or a new memory card inserted. 3--Bracketing Order ( pg. 162) This setting can be used to change the bracketing order so that bracketing proceeds from underexposure to overexposure.
