EXPOSURE BRACKETING

Many attractive objects are rich in contrast, which means they have

very bright and very dark areas. The image effect can be dramatical-

ly different, depending on which of these areas you choose to align

your exposure with. The automatic bracketing function in aperture

priority mode allows you to produce several alternatives with grad-

uated exposure values and varying shutter speeds. You can then

select the image you like best or use relevant photo editing software

to calculate an image with a particularly broad contrast spectrum

(HDR).
