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.
