❚❚Canceling Bracketing
To cancel bracketing, press the  D button and rotate the main 
command dial until the number of shots in the bracketing 
sequence is zero ( r) and  M is no longer displayed.
 The 
program last in effect will be restored the next time bracketing is 
activated.
 Bracketing can also be cancelled by performing a 
two-button reset ( 0206), although in this case the bracketing 
program will not be restored the next time bracketing is 
activated.
AExposure and Flash Bracketing
In continuous release modes ( 0102), shooting will pause after the 
number of shots specified in the br acketing program have been taken.
 Shooting will resume the next time the shutter-release button is 
pressed. In self-timer mode, the camera  will take the number of shots 
selected in Step 2 on page 134 each  time the shutter-release button is 
pressed, regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c3 ( Self-
timer )> Number of shots  (0 319); the interval between shots is 
however controlled by Custom Setting c3 ( Self-timer)> Interval 
between shots .
 In other modes, one shot wi ll be taken each time the 
shutter-release button is pressed.
If the memory card fills before all shots in the sequence have been 
taken, shooting can be resumed from  the next shot in the sequence 
after the memory card has been replaced or shots have been deleted 
to make room on the memory card.
 If the camera is turned off before 
a ll  sho ts in the sequ ence have been ta ken, brack eti ng wil l resu me from 
the next shot in the sequence when the camera is turned on.

AExposure Bracketing
The camera modifies exposure by  varying shutter speed and aperture 
(programmed auto), aperture (shutter -priority auto), or shutter speed 
(aperture-priority auto, manual exposure mode).
 If  On  is selected for 
ISO sensitivity settings > Auto ISO sensitivity control  (0 111) in 
modes  e, f , and  g, the camera will modify exposure by varying ISO 
sensitivity and only vary shutter speed  and/or aperture if the limits of 
exposure system are exceeded.
 Custom Setting e7 ( Auto bracketing 
(mode M) , 0 339) can be used to change how the camera performs 
exposure and flash bracketing in manual exposure mode.
 Bracketing 
can be performed by varying flash  level together with shutter speed 
and/or aperture, or by varying flash level alone.

❚❚White Balance Bracketing
The camera creates multiple copies of each photograph, each 
with a different white balance.
 For more information on white

Pressing the D button, rotate the sub-command dial to 
choose the white balance adjustment.
 Each increment is 
roughly equivalent to 5 mired.
Choose from increments of 1 (5 mired), 2 (10 mired), or 3 
(15 mired).
 Higher  B values correspond to increased amounts 
of blue, higher  A values to increased amounts of amber 
( 0 151).
 The bracketing programs with an increment of 1 are 
listed below.

4Frame a photograph, focus, and 
shoot.
Each shot will be processed to create 
the number of copies specified in the 
bracketing program, and each copy will have a different 
white balance.
 Modifications to white balance are added to 
the white balance adjustment made with white balance fine-
tuning.
If the number of shots in the 
bracketing program is greater than 
the number of exposures 
remaining,  n and the icon for 
the affected card will flash in the 
control panel, a flashing  j icon 
will appear in the viewfinder as 
shown at right, and the shutter 
release will be disabled.
 Shooting can begin when a new 
memory card is inserted.

AWhite Balance Bracketing
White balance bracketing is not available at an image quality of NEF 
(RAW ).
 Selecting  NEF (RAW) , NEF (RAW) + JPEG fine , NEF (RAW) + 
JPEG normal , or NEF (RAW) + JPEG basic  cancels white balance 
bracketing.
White balance bracketing affects only color temperature (the amber-

 No 
adjustments are made on the green-magenta axis.
In self-timer mode, the number of copies specified in the white-
balance program will be created each time the shutter is released, 
regardless of the option sele cted for Custom Setting c3 (Self-timer)> 
Number of shots  (0 319).
If the camera is turned off while the  memory card access lamp is lit, the 
camera will power off only after all photographs in the sequence have 
been recorded.
