Bracketing - Nikon D100 Manual

Controlling How the Camera Sets Exposure

Bracketing

The D100 offers three types of bracketing: exposure bracketing, flash brack-
eting, and white balance bracketing. In exposure bracketing, the camera
varies exposure compensation with each shot, while in the case of flash brack-
eting, flash exposure compensation (flash level; 102) is varied with each
shot. In both cases, only one photograph is produced each time the shutter-
release button is pressed. Several shots (from two to three) are therefore
required to complete the bracketing sequence. Exposure compensation and
flash bracketing are recommended in situations in which you find it difficult
to set exposure and yet do not have time to check the results and adjust
settings with each shot.
In white balance bracketing, the camera creates multiple images each time
the shutter is released, each with a different white balance adjustment (
50). Only one shot is required to complete the bracketing sequence. White
balance bracketing is recommended when shooting under mixed lighting or
when you want to experiment with different white balance settings. White
balance bracketing is not available at image qualities of NEF (Raw) or Comp.
NEF (Raw).
Using the Self-Timer
If exposure or flash bracketing is used in self-timer mode, one picture will be taken each
time the shutter is released. If white-balance bracketing is used, the camera will create
the number of copies specified in the bracketing program with each shot.
