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.

This auto-bracketing feature is very useful, and although I have not used it much (this feature is on the RBT X3 and the X2V2), just yesterdayJan and I went to see the moving Vietnam Memorial which is not far from where we live.  This was a very powerful tribute tothe men and women who lost their lives fighting for America's freedom.  Yes you all know that...but I must tell you this monument really had an effect on me....over 50,000 names appear. 
Well I took some stereos of the monument with an X3......looking down the length of this enourmous delta wing shaped slab, it was a very logical subject to document in 3D.  However, what really gripped me more...was not the monument...but  the people...coming to leave flowers, or to stare, to cry...or to just observe....and in one particular moment....an older man, perhpas 80...or even older, dressed in proper civillian uniform with decoratiosn, slowly but proudly approached the monument, with his elderly wife, and place a piece of paper over a name...and began to rub a crayon over it to get an imprint (this is allowed, and paper and crayons are provided by the 24 hour on site supervisors).

This was a powerful moment not to be missed on film, and for that.....I took no chances on wasting too much time looking for the right exposure and angle...etc (I am a manual mode, and manual camera lover!)  and raced to fire off a series of auto-bracketed sequences.  We'll see how they came out, and I am glad I had this feature to help me at that presious moment in time.
