    Suppose \(f\) is a rational function on the Riemann sphere. Denote the \(k\) times iteration of \(f\) by \(f^k\) for \(k\in\mathbb{N}\). The complex number \(a\in\mathbb{C}\cup\{\infty\}\) is said to be a Picard exceptional value of \(\{f^k\}_{k\in\mathbb{N}}\) if the number of the elements of \(\bigcup_{k\in\mathbb{N}} f^{-k}(a)\) is finite. The Picard exceptional set \(E(\{f^k\})\) is defined by that of all such points. The Valiron and Nevanlinna defects are defined as \[ \delta_V(a; \{f^k\})= \limsup_{k\to\infty} {m(a, f^k)\over d_k}\quad\text{and}\quad \delta_N(a; \{f^k\})= \liminf{m(a, f^k)\over d_k}, \] where \(m(a,f^k)\) is the mean proximity of \(f^k\) with respect to \(a\). The Valiron and Nevanlinna exceptional sets \(E_V(\{f^k\})\) and \(E_N(\{f^k\})\) are defined by those of all points with nonzero Valiron and Nevanlinna defects, respectively. The author proves that \(E(\{f^k\})= E_V(\{f^k\})= E_N(\{f^k\})\) for \(k> 1\).
