Dist Valu” (OSDV), and also to quickly set the focus distance. When updating the “Override Subj. Dist. Valu” with the left/right buttons, the value will be changed by the amount set in the “Value factor.” So “1” changes the OSDV by 1mm, “10” changes by 10mm, and so forth. In this way the OSDV can be updated faster than trying to change the overr

Bracketing is also used to create a series of exposures which will be combined using methods such as HDR processing. The bracketing fea
