Taking Photographs-Advanced Photography Varying Settings over a Series of Photos: Auto Bracketing In some situations, you may find it difficult to select appropriate exposure-compensation and white-balance settings, and yet not have time to check the results and adjust settings after each shot. The options in the auto bracketing menu can be used to vary these settings automatically over a series of photographs, "bracketing" a selected exposure-compensation or white-balance setting. Option Off On WB Bracketing Description Restores normal exposure and white balance. Camera varies exposure with each shot; the number of shots and the amount of exposure compensation performed can be selected from a sub-menu (see below). Values are added to the exposurecompensation value selected with the button ( 85). Bracketing is performed by varying shutter speed in programmed auto, aperture-priority auto, and manual exposure modes, and in shutterpriority auto by varying aperture. The camera takes three shots each time the shutter-release button is fully pressed, varying white balance to produce one image with the white balance selected in the WHITE BALANCE menu ( 102), one image with a reddish cast, and one with a bluish cast. 124
