the bracket, and then saves each image as a separate
image file with a new consecutive file number and
bracketed color value. This works very differently from
AE or flash bracketing, where you have to fire off each
individual frame of the bracket. WB bracketing is very
easy since you only have to set the bracket in the Control
panel and take one picture. However many images (up to
nine) are in the bracket simply appear on your memory
card. Nikons are fun!
Here’s a short review:
▪ Fn (FUNC.) button plus rear Main command dial =
number of exposures
▪ Fn (FUNC.) button plus front Sub-command dial = 5, 10,
or 15 mired steps (1–3)
My Recommendation: Personally, I prefer to use RAW
mode and make minor or major color adjustments in the
computer post-processing stage of the image’s preparation.
However, you may want to use WB bracketing while shooting
JPEGs since it degrades the image when you modify and
resave a JPEG file. Only people with extreme concern over
color balance will find WB bracketing useful. Most of us
don’t need it.
What Is Mired?
Mired changes simply modify the color of your image, in
this case toward amber (reddish) or blue. In effect, it
warms or cools the image. The color changes are applied
directly to the image by the camera when shooting JPEGs
or are saved as a marker when shooting RAW images. You
