Bracketing, the exposure setting will remain effective for twice the amount of 
the exposure metering timer (default setting is approx. 20 seconds) (p.116) 
and you can take a picture at the next compensation value. In this case, 
autofocus works for each image. After about twice the amount of the 
exposure metering timer elapses, the camera returns to settings for taking 
the first image.
• You can combine Exposure Bracketing with the built-in flash or an external 
flash (P-TTL auto only) to change only the flash output continuously. 
However, when using an external flash, holding the shutter release button 
down to take three consecutive images may cause the second and third 
images to be taken before the flash is fully charged. Take each image after 
confirming that charging is complete.
