Bracketing - Nikon D500 User Manual

Bracketing

Bracketing automatically varies exposure, flash level, Active
D-Lighting (ADL), or white balance slightly with each shot,
"bracketing" the current value. Choose in situations in which
getting the right settings is difficult and there is not time to
check results and adjust settings with each shot, or to
experiment with different settings for the same subject.
Bracketing is adjusted using the Auto
bracketing set option in the photo
shooting menu, which contains the
following options:
• AE & flash: The camera varies exposure
and flash level over a series of
photographs (0 147). Note that flash
bracketing is available in i-TTL and, where supported, auto
aperture (qA) flash control modes only (0 198, 326).
• AE only: The camera varies exposure over a series of
photographs.
• Flash only: The camera varies flash level over a series of
photographs.
• WB bracketing: The camera creates multiple copies of each
photograph, each with a different white balance (0 151).
• ADL bracketing: The camera varies Active D-Lighting over a series
of photographs (0 155).
