don’t have to worry about mired values unless you are a
color scientist. You can just determine whether you like
the image the way it is or would prefer that it be warmer or
cooler and bracket accordingly. In WB bracketing, the A
direction warms, while the b direction cools. Technically,
mired is calculated by multiplying the inverse of the color
temperature by 106.
I’d rather let my camera figure mired values and then
judge them with my eye, wouldn’t you? Remember, if you
shoot in RAW, you can modify color values later in your
computer. Otherwise, they are applied permanently to
JPEG files.
ADL Bracketing (D300S only)
ADL bracketing (ADL = Active D-Lighting) is available only
in the D300S (not the D300). It is designed to let you shoot a
normal image and then a series of up to four additional
images with Active D-Lighting applied at progressively
higher levels to each.
As you set ADL bracketing from two to five shots, you are
setting the camera to switch to a higher ADL level for each
consecutive shot. The progressive levels are Off, Low,
Normal, High, and Extra High.
Here are the steps to use ADL bracketing:
1. Using Figure 4-55, image 3, as a guide, set your camera
to ADL bracketing.
