Figure 4-57, image 1, shows a five-shot bracket with both
over- and underexposure of 1.0 EV step per image. You can
tell by the 5F at the top left of the Control panel, along with
the number of lines hanging below the scale. The 1.0 means
that there is 1.0 EV step (1 stop) between each exposure in
the bracket. The fact that the 5F has no plus or minus sign in
front of it tells us that the bracket uses normal, over, and
underexposure.
Figure 4-57, image 2, shows a two-image bracket with 0.3 EV
steps (1/3 stop) between each exposure. Notice the minus sign
before the NF symbol (--2F)? This means that the bracket is
designed to take only normal and underexposed shots—no
overexposed ones. The bracketed images are on the minus
side of the +/- scale.
Compare that to Figure 4-57, image 3, which represents a
three-image bracket at 0.3 EV steps per exposure, in the
normal and overexposure direction only (+3F).
One note about flash bracketing: If you are using an SB-900,
SB-80, SB-600, SB400, or SB-R200, the flash unit may or
may not be able to keep up with bracketed shots taken in
Continuous release mode. If you fully dump the flash power
between shots, you’ll have to wait for the next shot. Also, the
pop-up flash simply does not recycle fast enough to be able to
shoot continuously while flash bracketing, so you’ll have to
take each shot individually.
Here’s a short review:
