This 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
super-fine images (p. 41).
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
0.5Ev increments. In multi-function recording mode the increment can
be set to 0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 Ev increments (p. 50).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation
section (p. 23). 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 CompactFlash 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.
When using exposure compensation (p. 46), 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 display-information button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to
the next position each time the button is pressed: full display, live image only, and
monitor off.
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. 58) and
the digital zoom are disabled when the monitor is off.
