Bracketing - Nikon D700 User Manual

The camera offers three types of bracketing: exposure bracketing,
flash bracketing, and white balance bracketing. In exposure
bracketing (pg. 131), the camera varies exposure compensation
with each shot, while in the case of flash bracketing (pg. 131), flash
level is varied with each shot (i-TTL and, in the case of optional SB-
900 and SB-800 flash units, auto aperture flash control modes only;
see pages 377-380). Only one photograph is produced each time
the shutter is released, meaning that several shots are required to
complete the bracketing sequence. Exposure and flash bracketing
are recommended in situations in which it is difficult to set
exposure and there is not enough time to check results and adjust
settings with each shot.
In white balance bracketing (pg. 135), the camera creates multiple
images each time the shutter is released, each with a different
white balance adjustment. Only one shot is required to complete
the bracketing sequence. White balance bracketing is
recommended when shooting under mixed lighting or
experimenting with different white balance settings.

At default settings, the camera varies both exposure and flash level.
Custom Setting eS (Auto bracketing set, pg. 315) is used to choose the
type of bracketing performed.
Changes to bracketing settings can be made using the Fnbutton (the
default setting, see Custom Setting fS, Assign FUNC. button, pg. 320), the
depth-of-field preview button (Custom setting f6, Assign preview
button), pg. 324), or the AE-L/AF-L button (Custom Setting f7, Assign AE-L/
AF-L button, pg. 325). Note that some "button press" options can not be
combined with options using "+dials." The explanation that follows
assumes that bracketing is assigned to the Fnbutton.
