bracketing on all shots, but on very important images where
you were slightly off on your exposure selection, ADL will
help to open shadows (adding noise, unfortunately) and
mildly protect the highlights. Of course, if you shoot in RAW
mode you can apply ADL in-computer. I don’t bracket ADL
very often. But, I’m glad to know it’s there when I need it.
One final note about bracketing of any type: Turn it off when
you’re done! I often forget and then wonder why my camera
keeps under- and overexposing a series of images. Only after
wasting several images do I realize that I left bracketing
turned on. You’ll see what I mean if you use AE & flash
bracketing often, as I do.
Auto Bracketing (Mode M)
Custom setting e6 (D300S and D300)
(User’s Manual – D300S page 290; D300 page 299)
Auto bracketing (Mode M) is a series of four selections that
let you, or the camera, control the flash, shutter speed, and
aperture in various ways during a bracketing operation, when
the camera is set to M-Manual exposure mode.
This gives you a little finer control over manual camera
settings while you are taking several exposures within a
bracket of images.
Here are the screens and steps used to configure Auto
bracketing (Mode M) (see Figure 4-61):
