Recommendations:
1. Which option you choose probably depends upon what
kind of photographer you are. Sports photographers are
likely to pick
Flash/aperture
to preserve shutter speeds,
while others are more likely to pick
Flash/speed
to
preserve aperture and depth of field.
2.
Flash/speed/aperture
really is of use only on really long
bracket sequences (e.g. nine exposures), as you probably
don’t want the extreme changes in shutter speed or
aperture alone that would happen over nine shots.
3.
Flash only
is probably the best choice if #E5 is also set to
Flash only
, at least if you’re bracketing often in Manual
exposure mode. Why? Because it gives you a quick and
dirty way to play with flash and ambient balances (by
switching exposure modes).
Custom Setting #E7 Bracketing Order
(Bracketing order)
You can select the order in which the D300 exposes the
photographs when automatic bracketing is set (see “Exposure
Bracketing” on page <299>):
Note: Bracketing can set sequences fewer than three exposures.
The bracketing order describes what happens when at least
three exposures are taken. If you’ve set bracketing to two-
shot sequences, the orders shown below are still correct,
but one of the values is left off. For example, if you asked
the camera to set bracketing to
-2F 0.5
, the “overexposed”
value is not taken, so just ignore its place in the order. If you
set the camera to bracket more than three images, the
