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