Taking Photographs-Exposure Controlling How the Camera Sets Exposure Bracketing The D100 offers three types of bracketing: exposure bracketing, flash bracketing, and white balance bracketing. In exposure bracketing, the camera varies exposure compensation with each shot, while in the case of flash bracketing, flash exposure compensation (flash level; 102) is varied with each shot. In both cases, only one photograph is produced each time the shutterrelease button is pressed. Several shots (from two to three) are therefore required to complete the bracketing sequence. Exposure compensation and flash bracketing are recommended in situations in which you find it difficult to set exposure and yet do not have time to check the results and adjust settings with each shot. In white balance bracketing, the camera creates multiple images each time the shutter is released, each with a different white balance adjustment ( 50). Only one shot is required to complete the bracketing sequence. White balance bracketing is recommended when shooting under mixed lighting or when you want to experiment with different white balance settings. White balance bracketing is not available at image qualities of NEF (Raw) or Comp. NEF (Raw). Using the Self-Timer If exposure or flash bracketing is used in self-timer mode, one picture will be taken each time the shutter is released. If white-balance bracketing is used, the camera will create the number of copies specified in the bracketing program with each shot. 87
