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 it is difficult to set exposure, flash level, white balance, or Active
D-Lighting and there is not time to check results and adjust settings with each shot,
or to experiment with different settings for the same subject.
