Bracketing
Bracketing automatically varies exposure, white balance, or Active D-Lighting (ADL)
slightly with each shot, “bracketing” the current value. Choose in situations in which
it is difficult to set exposure, white balance, or Active D-Lighting and there is not time
to check results and adjust settings with each shot, or to experiment with different
settings for the same subject.
