On the right side of the screen, "BKT" indicates the bracketing direction and the bracketing amount is also displayed. Press <0> to exit the setting and return to the menu. To cancel the bracketing, set "BKT" to "±0" (" " to " " (1 point)). B/A bias ±3 levels Bracketing Sequence Correct white balance, blue bias, and amber bias. Or, correct white balance, magenta bias, and green bias. If the image-recording quality is set to RAW or RAW+73, white balance bracketing cannot be used. With white balance bracketing set, the maximum burst will be fewer during continuous shooting. The number of possible shots will also decrease to about one-third the normal number. Since three images are recorded for one shot, the CF card will take longer to record the shot. "BKT" stands for Bracketing. 89 Preventing Camera Shake To prevent camera shake, using a tripod is effective. When pressing the shutter button, do it carefully without shaking the camera. Preventing camera shake while you press the shutter button on a tripod-mounted camera is explained below. Using Remote Control to Shoot Using Remote Switch RS-60E3 or Remote Controller RC-1/RC-5 (both optional) can prevent camera shake and enable remote shooting. Remote Switch RS-60E3 Remote switch with a 60 cm/2. 0 feet cord for pressing the shutter button halfway or fully. It connects to the camera's remote control terminal. Remote Controller RC-1/RC-5 Remote controller to shoot wirelessly up to about 5 meters/16. 4 feet from the camera. (p. 153) The RC-1 can trip the shutter immediately or after a 2sec. delay, and the RC-5 trips the shutter after a 2-sec. delay. RC-1 RC-5 90 Preventing Camera Shake Mirror Lockup Although remote control shooting can prevent camera shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups. Mirror lockup is enabled by accessing [b Custom Function (C. Fn)] and setting [Mirror lockup] (p. 105) to [1:Enable]. Press the shutter button completely to lockup the reflex mirror. Then press the shutter button completely again to take the picture. The reflex mirror will then go back down. Shooting Tips Do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun's heat can scorch and damage the shutter curtains. With the self-timer, the picture can be taken after a 2-sec.
