Auto Bracketing - Nikon CoolPix P3 User Manual

Auto Bracketing

Use this function when unusual lighting conditions make it difficult to deter-
mine the correct exposure or proper white balance settings. Auto bracketing
automatically adjusts these settings over a series of pictures, "bracketing" a
selected Exposure compensation or White balance setting.
