Bracketing

Controls used: button + command dials

Bracketing automatically varies selected settings slightly with each shot, “bracketing” the current value. The setting affected is chosen with Custom Setting 13 (Auto BKT set;90); Below, it is assumed that AE & flash is selected to vary exposure and flash level. Other options can be used to vary exposure or flash level separately or to bracket white balance.
