Join Ben Long for an in-depth discussion in this video Exposure bracketing, part of Nikon D7000 Essential Training.
Bracketing is the process of shooting the same scene with different exposures to…improve your chances of going home with a shot that's correctly metered.…You might also use bracketing when shooting a scene with lots of dynamic range,…so that you go home with at least one properly exposed image of the each of the…different bright and dark bits in your scene.…Auto Exposure Bracketing is a camera feature that tells the camera to…automatically alter exposures between shots, so that all you have to do is fire…off a certain number of shots to have a fully bracketed set.…
To configure Auto Bracketing, you use the Bracketing button which is over here…on the side of the camera.…It's just below the Flash button.…It's the one labeled BKT for bracketing.…If I push and hold that button, then my LCD screen up here goes blank and shows…me only the read outs for the bracketing configurations. It's two numbers.…This number which indicates how many images will be in my bracketed set, and…this number which tells the exposure differential between those images.…
