Bracketing
Bracketing automatically varies exposure, flash level, A ctive D - L ighting (ADL), or
white balance slightly with each shot, “bracketing” the current value. Choose in
situations in which it is difficult to set exposure, flash level (i-TTL and, where
supported, auto aperture flash control modes only; see pages 122, 246, and 305),
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.
