Bracketing

The camera offers three types of bracketing: exposure bracketing, flash bracketing, and white balance bracketing. In exposure bracketing (pg. 131), the camera varies exposure compensation with each shot, while in the case of flash bracketing (pg. 131), flash

level is varied with each shot (i-TTL and, in the case of optional SB- 900 and SB-800 flash units, auto aperture flash control modes only; see pages 377–380). Only one photograph is produced each time the shutter is released, meaning that several shots are required to complete the bracketing sequence. 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.

Z In white balance bracketing (pg. 135), the camera creates multiple images each time the shutter is released, each with a different white balance adjustment. Only one shot is required to complete the bracketing sequence. White balance bracketing is recommended when shooting under mixed lighting or experimenting with different white balance settings.

At default settings, the camera varies both exposure and flash level. Custom Setting e5 (Auto bracketing set, pg. 315) is used to choose the

type of bracketing performed.

Changes to bracketing settings can be made using the Fn button (the default setting, see Custom Setting f5, Assign FUNC. button, pg. 320), the depth-of-field preview button (Custom setting f6, Assign preview button), pg. 324), or the AE-L/AF-Lbutton (Custom Setting f7, Assign AE-L/AF-L button, pg. 325). Note that some “button press” options can not be

combined with options using “+dials.” The explanation that follows assumes that bracketing is assigned to the Fn button.
