Taking Photographs—ExposureControlling How the Camera Sets Exposure87BracketingThe D100 offers three types of bracketing: exposure bracketing, flash brack-eting, and white balance bracketing. In exposure bracketing, the cameravaries exposure compensation with each shot, while in the case of flash brack-eting, flash exposure compensation (flash level; 102) is varied with eachshot. In both cases, only one photograph is produced each time the shutter-release button is pressed. Several shots (from two to three) are thereforerequired to complete the bracketing sequence. Exposure compensation andflash bracketing are recommended in situations in which you find it difficultto set exposure and yet do not have time to check the results and adjustsettings with each shot.In white balance bracketing, the camera creates multiple images each timethe shutter is released, each with a different white balance adjustment (50). Only one shot is required to complete the bracketing sequence. Whitebalance bracketing is recommended when shooting under mixed lighting orwhen you want to experiment with different white balance settings. Whitebalance bracketing is not available at image qualities of NEF (Raw) or Comp.NEF (Raw).Using the Self-TimerIf exposure or flash bracketing is used in self-timer mode, one picture will be taken eachtime the shutter is released. If white-balance bracketing is used, the camera will createthe number of copies specified in the bracketing program with each shot.
