%D Bracketing

I know their is a way to take one picture and have your camera bracket it. I just can figure out how. Can someone give me the steps how to do this?

Here you go..

Ahh, the polite way of saying RTFM.

That is good information but not what I meant. BTW I did RTFM and thought I would ask here. I guess I could say RTFQ. There is a way to take ONE picture and the camera will Auto Bracket it three times. Let me make this a little more clear. You push the button once and it brackets that image three times. How do you do this? I Thanks for the acronyms Liquefied.

Well, what we see depends mainly on what we look for, right?

Read notes on the bottom of page 94 again, please..

I was told there is a way that the camera takes just one picture and the camera adjusts it three times. Bottom of 94 is still talking about taking three pictures.

snedigity,

I think that you're referring to White Balance Bracketing.

There is no way you can bracket exposure without more than one shot because exposure is a factor of actual physical settings (aperture and shutter speed) and a property (ISO) that works with the other two. It would be too messy to come up with a "take a shot and jiggle something for several exposures".

White Balance, however, has nothing to do with capturing a picture, but just in how the image data is interpreted. So, if you are shooting in jpeg, and are very uncertain about your white balance range, you have a White Balance Bracketing feature. Think indoors with mixed lighting, shooting in jpeg, pure guesswork as far as the proper white balance setting, and you can see how bracketing the wb could come in handy.

For RAW, there is no such animal because your white balance is interpreted and adjusted in your RAW converter. But if you shoot jpeg, it might be a consideration for mixed-lighting situations.

snedigity, your questions from the earlier post were answered in Note on page 94.
They were both about bracketing.

In your last post you have changed the question.
This time, you talk about adjusting.

Bracketing and adjusting (whatever it might be) are not the same.

Yup - as the note says - set your drive mode to continuous, and if you have exposure bracketing set, one shutter press will get you three images, taken one after another with different exposures.
Is that what you were after?

to do what I think you want (white balance bracketing) in the menu go to "WB SHIFT/BKT" set your wb bracket. Take a photo the camera will record three images simultaneously at those brackets. See page 65 and 66 of the user manual to explain it in more depth.

Yhank you guys for the answer. Quad, I will definately red those pages now I know where to find wht I am looking for. Thanks again.

you can also do exposure compensation in the post processing. Bracketing is a waste of time. Just choose normal. Under bright sunlight conditions with a wide field of view- you may want to tone it down.

Exposure doesn't matter, eh?
