Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2006Bracketing?
I want to bracket the exposure of some pictures I'm taking with my D-70. However...when I use the BKT Set and BKT Order in the Custom Menu I get only one image when I take the picture. I would expect that "bracketing" means that I would get three (3) ...one under, one right on, and one over. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance. On my canon you have to take 3 shots to capture -/0/+, is the nikon the same ?. I know some other cameras do take 3 shots automatically but not all. > I want to bracket the exposure of some pictures I'm taking with my D-70. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks in advance. > On my canon you have to take 3 shots to capture -/0/+, is the nikon the > same ?. > I know some other cameras do take 3 shots automatically but not all. I'm glad I read this because I would have been confused if I had ever used the bracketing function on my Rebel XT. I probably would have set it and forgot and then had the 2nd and 3rd shots of other things. Generally I just change exposure compensation, or I'm in manual, and shoot another picture, 2 different exposures is usually enough.

What mode is the camera in? Bracketing only works for P, A,S and M modes, as per p.87 of the fine manual. Also be sure you have set exposure bracketing, there are many other choices, such as just flash bracketing which if you're not using flask, can't happen. Whether you get 2 or 3 shots is determined by the bracketing program, as per p.90 of the fine manual. -- Ed Ruf (Usenet2@EdwardG.Ruf.com) http://edwardgruf.com/Digital_Photography/General/index.html > I want to bracket the exposure of some pictures I'm taking with my D-70. > > However...when I use the BKT Set and BKT Order in the Custom Menu I get only > one image when I take the picture.

If it's like the D-50 you need three shutter releases and there is an indicator on the lcd panel that tells you which of the bracket shots you have shot. > > I want to bracket the exposure of some pictures I'm taking with my D-70. > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > indicator on the lcd panel that tells you which of the bracket shots > you have shot. On the Canon camera if you put it into continues shooting mode it will take the three shots and stop, took me a while to get around to reading the manual on this. If it is in single shot mode then you have to push the shuther three times. Scott >> > I want to bracket the exposure of some pictures I'm taking with my >> > D-70.

When in single mode you have to remember to take three shots. > I want to bracket the exposure of some pictures I'm taking with my D-70. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks in advance. My experience is with the D2H and D2X is that you need to take each of the three shots. It doesn't fire a burst of three. YOU need to depress the shutter three times for a bracket of three. Keep in mind that if you do two later on the next image will also be a different exposure. In short, don't forget to turn off bracketing when you're done or you will wonder what's gone wrong.
