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 getting the right settings is difficult and there is not time to check results and adjust settings with each shot, or to experiment with different settings for the same subject. For more information, see “Varying Exposure or White Balance over a Series of Photographs (Bracketing)” ( Varying Exposure or White Balance over a Series of Photographs (Bracketing) ).
