Exposure and Flash Bracketing

In exposure bracketing, the camera varies exposure compensation with each shot, while in the case of flash bracketing, flash level is varied with each shot (i- TTL and, with the optional SB-800 Speedlight, auto aperture flash control modes only). Only one photograph is produced each time the shutter is released, mean- ing that several shots (up to nine) are required to complete the bracketing se- quence. Exposure and flash bracketing are recommended in situations in which it is difficult to set exposure and there is not enough time to check results and adjust settings with each shot.

1Select the type of bracketing to be performed using Custom Setting e5 (Auto BKT Set; 166). Choose AE & Flash to vary both exposure and flash level (the default setting), AE Only to vary only exposure, or Flash Only to vary only flash level.

2 Pressing the button, rotate the main com- mand dial to choose the number of shots in the bracketing sequence (198 – 199). At settings other than zero, a BKT icon and bracketing indi- cator will be displayed in the control panel and the icon will blink in the control panel and viewfinder.

3 Pressing the button, rotate the sub-com- mand dial to choose the exposure increment ( 198 – 199).
