Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section
(p. 25). Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the
exposure and focus for the series. Press and hold the shutter-release
button all the way down (2) to make the bracket series; three consecutive
images will be captured. If the memory card is filled or the shutter button
is released before the series has completed, the camera will reset and the
entire bracket must be made again. When using flash, there will be a delay
between frames as the flash charges. The remaining number of frames in
the bracket series is displayed on the monitor next to the bracketing icon.
This drive mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of
taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in
exposure. The bracketing mode is set with the drive-mode button (p. 32). Brackets
cannot be made with TIFF images (p. 44).
The order of the bracket series is normal exposure (as
indicated by the shutter speed and aperture displays),
underexposure, and overexposure. The exposure bracket in
auto-recording mode is set to 0.5 Ev increments. In the
multi-function recording mode the increment can be set to
0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 Ev increments in the custom 1 section of the
menu (p. 54).

The display button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to the next
position each time the button is pressed: standard display, focus frame only, real-time
histogram, live image only, and monitor off. The number of screens and their formats can
be changed in the basic section of the setup menu (p. 84)
Battery power can be conserved by turning the monitor off and using the viewfinder to
take pictures. When the menu or exposure-compensation button is pressed, or the macro
mode is activated, the monitor will automatically turn on. Full-time AF (p. 63) and the
digital zoom (p. 48) are disabled when the monitor is off.

When using exposure compensation (p. 50), the
bracketing series will be made in relation to the
compensated exposure. Under extreme conditions, one
of the bracketed exposures may be inaccurate because it
is outside the exposure control range of the camera.

The real-time histogram shows the approximate luminance distribution of the live image.
The histogram is not accurate when the monitor image is amplified in low-light conditions,
or when the camera is focusing. The histogram of the recorded image may not have the
same distribution as the real-time histogram.
