Auto Bracketing - Nikon D1 Manual

Auto Bracketing

Bracketing is used to take a series of photographs of the same subject using
a variety of exposure values that "bracket" optimum value as determined by the
camera (or, in manual mode, by the photographer). This can be used to take
multiple shots of the same subject at different exposure settings without
stopping to adjust exposure compensation manually. Up to three photographs
can be taken at exposure settings varying from +2 to –2 EV (these values are
added to the value chosen for exposure compensation using the exposure
compensation function described on the previous pages). Bracketing can be
used in any exposure mode.

Note
Changes to exposure are effected by changing the shutter speed (manual and
aperture-priority auto exposure modes), the aperture (shutter-priority auto), or both
shutter speed and aperture (programmed auto).
Flash and auto-exposure bracketing
If a Speedlight is attached when bracketing is in effect, both flash level (TTL level as
determined for the main subject) and auto-exposure will be changed for each
exposure regardless of the exposure mode. Camera settings can be changed so that
only one of flash-exposure bracketing or auto-exposure bracketing will be performed.
See "Custom Settings," item 11.
