Using Auto Bracketing

The camera provides two types of auto bracketing. In exposure bracketing, the camera varies exposure compensation with each shot. In flash bracketing, flash level is varied for each shot.

ZAvailable auto bracketing settings

Exposure and Flash Bracketing ([AE & FLASH]) Performs both AE bracketing and flash bracketing at the same time.

Exposure Bracketing ([AE ONLY])

When AE bracketing is set and each time the shutter button is pressed, the preset number of frames (maximum 9 shots) is shot while the exposure automatically changes according to the exposure increment setting (measured from the original exposure displayed by the camera). You can set in any exposure mode (programmed auto, manual, etc.), however the compensation (shutter speed/exposure) varies for each. The maximum step value is ±4EV, excluding exposure compensation.

Flash Bracketing ([d: FLASH ONLY])

When flash bracketing is set and each time the shutter button is pressed, the preset number of frames (maximum 9 frames) is shot while the flash level automatically changes. The maximum step value is ±4EV, excluding flash compensation. The flash bracketing can be performed only when i-TTL mode or auto aperture (Nikon Speedlight SB-800 only) is set.

1 Select the desired setting for [AUTO BRACKETING SET] under [ FLASH/BKT] in the [SET UP] menu.
