FWIW, the RBT X3 will take a three shot sequence of right on, one 
under and one over. You can specify how much over and under as 
well in 0.5 EV increments. This also applies if you have already set 
your exposure to be over or under in normal mode. ie - if you set the 
exposure compensation to be +1.5 EV and the auto bracketing to 
be 0.5 then the three shots would be +1.0, +1.5, and +2.0. The EV 
is setable from +/-0.5 to +/-4.0.

I must admit that I have yet to use this feature as I have been most 
satisfied with the center weighted auto exposure in most all of the 
situations I have been in. This includes shooting almost into the sun 
from an airplane window (1/2000 at f16) to long exposures of neon 
lights at night (6-8 seconds at f8). I do always use aperture priority 
though.

That's all for now,
