By changing the shutter speed or aperture automatically, the camera 
brackets the exposure up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three 
successive shots. This is called AEB.
* AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing.
1Select [Expo.comp./AEB].
Under the [z2] tab, select 
[
Expo.comp./AEB], then press 
.
2Set the AEB range.
Turn the  dial to set the AEB 
range. Press the <
Y>  keys to 
set the exposure compensation 
amount.
Press  to set it.
When you exit the menu, the AEB 
range will be displayed on the LCD 
panel.
3Take the picture.
Three bracketed shots will be taken 
according to the drive mode set in this 
sequence: Standard exposure, 
decreased exposure, and increased 
exposure.
AEB will not be automatically 
canceled. To cancel AEB, follow step 
2 to turn off the AEB range display.

During AEB, < A> in the viewfinder and AEB range will blink.
 If the drive mode is set to < u> or < B>, press the shutter button three 
times for each shot. When < o>, , or < M> is set and you hold 
down the shutter button completely, the three bracketed shots will be 
taken continuously and the camera will automatically stop shooting. 
When < Q> or < k> is set, the three bracketed shots will be taken 
continuously after a 10-sec. or 2-sec. delay.
 You can set AEB in combination with exposure compensation.
 If the AEB range exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the exposure level 
indicator will display < I> or < J>.
 AEB cannot be used with flash,  bulb exposures, or when [Multi Shot 
Noise Reduction ], [HDR Mode ], or a Creative filter is set.
 AEB will be canceled automatically when you set the power switch to 
 or when the flash is ready to fire.

You can lock the exposure when the area of focus is to be different from 
the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at 
the same exposure setting. Press the <
A> button to lock the exposure, 
then recompose and take the picture.  This is called AE lock. It is 
effective for shooting backlit subjects, etc.
1Focus on the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway.
The exposure setting will be displayed.
2Press the  button (0).
The  icon lights up in the 
viewfinder to indicate that the 
exposure setting is locked (AE lock).
Each time you press the  button, 
the current exposure setting is locked.
3Recompose and take the picture.
If you want to take more pictures 
while maintaining  the AE lock, keep 
holding down the <
A> button and 
press the shutter button to take 
another picture.
* When the lens’s focus mode switch is set to < MF>, AE lock is applied to the 
center AF point.

In this mode, the shutter stays open as long as you hold down the 
shutter button completely, and closes when you let go of the shutter 
button. This is call ed bulb exposure. Use bul b exposures for night 
scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and  other subjects requiring long 
exposures.
1Set the Mode Dial to .
2Set the desired aperture.
While looking at the LCD panel, turn 
the <

The exposure will continue for as long 
as you keep the shutter button 
pressed completely.
The elapsed expos ure time will be 
displayed on the LCD panel.

Elapsed exposure time
 Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun 
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image 
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
 Long exposures produce more noise than usual.
 If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed will be ISO 400 (p.150).
 For a bulb exposure, if you use both the self-timer and mirror lockup 
instead of the bulb timer, keep pressing the shutter button completely 
(self-timer delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter 
button during the self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release 
sound, but no picture will be taken. If you use the bulb timer under the 
same shooting conditions, you need not keep holding down the shutter 
button completely.

F: Bulb Exposures
You can preset the bulb exposure’s exposure time. With the bulb timer, 
you need not keep holding down the shutter button during the bulb 
exposure. This reduces camera vibration blur.
The bulb timer can be set only in the <
F> (Bulb) shooting mode. It 
cannot be set (or will not function) in any other shooting mode.
1Select [Bulb timer].
Under the [z4] tab, select [Bulb 
timer], then press .
2Select [Enable].
Select [Enable], then press the 
<

With [z 3: Long exp. noise reduction ], you can reduce the noise 
generated during long exposures (p.172).
 For bulb exposures, using a tripod and bulb timer is recommended. 
Using mirror lockup (p.219) with bulb exposures is also possible.
 You can also shoot bulb exposures by using Remote Switch RS-60E3 
(sold separately, p.221).
 You can also use Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately, p.221) for 
bulb exposures. When you press the remote controller’s transmit button, 
the bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button 
again to stop the bulb exposure.

Clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced for a high dynamic 
range of tones even with high-contrast scenes. HDR shooting is 
effective for landscape and still-life shots.
With HDR shooting, three images of different exposures (standard 
exposure, underexposure, and overexposure) are captured 
continuously for each shot and then merged together 
automatically. The HDR image is recorded as a JPEG image.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
1Select [HDR Mode].

Mode], then press .
The HDR mode screen will appear.
2Set [Adjust dyn range].
Select the desired dynamic range 
setting, then press <

depending on the image’s overall 
tonal range.

shadow details would otherwise be lost. Clipped highlights and 
shadows will be reduced.
Art standard
While the clipped highlights and sh adows will be reduced more than 
with [
Natural], the contrast will be lower, and the gradation flatter to 
have the picture look like a painti ng. The subject outlines will have 
bright (or dark) edges.
Art vivid
The colors are more saturated than with [Art standard], and the low 
contrast and flat gradation create a graphic art effect.
Art bold
The colors are the most saturated, making the subject pop out, and 
the picture look like an oil painting.
Art embossedThe color saturation, brightness, contrast and gradation are 
decreased to make the picture look  flat. The picture looks faded and 
old. The subject outlines will  have bolder bright (or dark) edges.

RAW or RAW+JPEG is set.
 The HDR mode cannot be set when AEB, WB bracketing, Multi Shot 
Noise Reduction, or multiple exposures  are set, or during bulb exposures 
and movie shooting.
 HDR shooting is not possible with ISO expansion (H). HDR shooting is 
possible within ISO 100 - ISO 16000.

During HDR shooting, the settings of [Distortion correction], [z2: 
Auto Lighting Optimizer], and [z3: Highlight tone priority] will be 
automatically switched to [Disable]. If you shoot a moving subject,  the moving subject may leave 
afterimages.
 In HDR shooting, 3 images are captured with different shutter speeds set 
automatically. Therefore, even in < s> and  shooting modes, the 
shutter speed will be shifted based on the shutter speed you set.
 To prevent camera shake, a high ISO speed may be set.
 You can display < z> in the viewfinder when HDR mode is set (p.425).
During Live View Shooting Magnified view is not possible.
