5Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.

AE bracketing: The camera will vary exposure with each shot. The first shot will be taken at the value currently selected for exposure compensation. The bracketing increment will be subtracted from the current value in the second shot and added in the third shot, “bracketing” the current value. The modified values are reflected in the values shown for shutter speed and aperture.

WB bracketing: Each shot is processed to create three copies, one at the current white balance setting, one with increased amber, and one with increased blue.

If there is not enough space available on the memory card to record three images, the exposure-count display in the viewfinder will flash. Shooting can begin when a new memory card is inserted.

ADL bracketing: The first shot after bracketing is activated is taken with Active D-Lighting off, the second at the current Active D-Lighting setting (0 69; if Active D-Lighting is off, the second shot will be taken with Active D-Lighting set to Auto).

In continuous high-speed and continuous low-speed release modes, shooting will pause after each bracketing cycle. If the camera is turned off before all shots in the bracketing sequence have been taken, bracketing will resume from the next shot in the sequence when the camera is turned on.
