Can the camera be set to bracket 3 shots at -2 0 and +2?
Cant figure out how to set for this combination.
 
The manual only mentions +/- 0.3, 0.7 and 1.0 EV. I guess you could do it the old fashion way; I typically change the ISO so the aperture & speed stay the same.

Why not just shoot 5 or 6 at 1stop.. just have a few more images to work with.. or you could throw the tweeners out, if you are that set on it. 6 at 1 would give a more accurate tonal range anyway!
 
It will do exactly what you want. Hold the bracket button on the right side of the camera, the +/- button near the on off switch and set the ev step value with the main control wheel. You can go all the way to 5ev. Then hold the bracket button on the left side of the camera to set the number of shots, which can be as many as 9.
Once the bracketing is set you can enable the multi shot mode Cl or Ch. Now hold down the shutter and all bracket shots will be taken at one time. Something I got worked out to take HDR sequences. With this information go back and read the manual for more details.
