I'll second David's comment: this IS how a tutorial should be done. Clear, concise, and so very easy to follow. It's a boon for those just getting started in how to use AEB because the presenter never assumes any prior knowledge on the viewer's part like SO many *tutorials* do. It's a case study in how to teach !
Nice! I have to Z6 & for more info here’s what my manual says (p. 192): “The camera modifies exposure by varying shutter speed and aperture (mode P), aperture (mode S), or shutter speed (modes A and M). If On is selected for ISO sensitivity settings > Auto ISO sensitivity control in modes P, S, and A, the camera will automatically vary ISO sensitivity for optimum exposure when the limits of the camera exposure system are exceeded; in mode M, the camera will first use auto ISO sensitivity control to bring exposure as close as possible to the optimum and then bracket this exposure by varying shutter speed. Custom Setting e6 (Auto bracketing (mode M)) can be used to change how the camera performs exposure and flash bracketing in mode M: by varying flash level together with shutter speed and/or aperture, or by varying flash level alone.”
It’s horrible that one has to keep the finger pressed on the shutter until all shots are taken. For lower light shots, this can lead to blurry shots. Whereas, on my Fuji X-T3, one can press the shutter once, and all the shots are taken all at once… I guess, the self-timer might be ok, but introduces a delay.
This man is fantastic. So many tutorials assume you know a bunch of information and jump way ahead of where I need to be. This is concise and easy to follow. Looking for more of his tutorials. This Z7 is a trip compared to the d810 and d850.
Thank you Stuart for such a great, clear and concise presentation "as always". I have learned from your videos since my first Nikon D300 DSLR. I am also amazed of the subtle procedural navigations between the D850 and the Z7 when it comes to Auto Bracketing. I had to do a second pass at this one to see the subtleties between the two...Cheers! 😎
Hello Robert. You can set the release mode to self-timer instead of continuous shooting, so you’ll only need to press the shutter button once to take the bracketed photos.
Hello @JHoppenstein, Thank you for your comment and your valid question. I wish I had a better answer than this: Nikon leaves us alone with the inconvenient option of turning off the camera to disable bracketing.
as usual, precise directions; but - how to set delay shoot (and in back button focusing as worked easily in D850)? for example a 2 second delay to reduce possible camera shake?
James’ss Set a 2 seconds self-timer: hold the Release Mode/Self-Timer button and rotate the main command dial until the self-timer icon with "2s" is highlighted. Press OK to confirm the selection. See the online manual here onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7_z6/en/06_shooting_controls_04.html#the_self-timer
Rather than using the shutter release button to trigger the bracketing, I find it better to setup a single interval, selecting NOW and START. There is a 3 second delay to ensure the camera is vibration free.
How to program the video record button to take one directly to AEB settings? I saw someone recommend this in a video for real estate photography, but they did not describe how to do it.
Hi @Tyler Durden, According to the online user manual, it is not possible to assign the Auto Bracketing or Bracketing Burst function to the movie recording button. So if the desired button is not able to hold the BKT short commands, I would choose another button such as the Fn1 or Fn2 buttons to assign it. - Access the menu - Navigate to the Custom Settings menu, i.e. the pen menu - Select Controls > Custom Controls Assignment (f2) - Here you select a control to which you want to assign a specific function For a list of possible settings that can be assigned to the controls, click here onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7_z6/en/09_menu_guide_05_f02.html
@@PhotomatixHDR Thanks very much. I probably would have spent another 30 minutes trying to figure out how to make it work with the record button had you not made this common sense suggestion. By the way, fantastically clear instructions in this video. Very nice work!
By setting up the AEB, then holding down the shutter button, all images in the sequence will be taken. If you meant using just one press of the button without holding it down, I haven't found a way to do that on this camera.
@@PhotomatixHDR To initiate the bracketing sequence with just one shutter button press, set the release mode to self-timer rather than continuous shooting. In the self-timer setup, the delay you choose (2,5,10,20) will be the number of seconds before the first shutter release... subsequent releases occur one after another without delay. Also note that on the self-timer setup screen there is a number of shots setting. The value here defaults to '1'. This works fine, and setting any other value makes no difference, the bracketing sequence cycles only once per shutter button press.
@@alcancemas, many thanks! This is a very valuable comment. We usually recommend this as well. In the case of this video tutorial we wanted to make it as concise as possible.
Yes, you can use a manual lens as long as you can manually adjust the aperture. Switch to M for manual. The camera varies the shutter speed to over- and underexpose the images.
Great info thank you Got confused trying to turn bracketing off again Achieved this by putting number of shots to zero Tried putting camera to single shot mode but bracketing symbol remained On monitor
How? is this process different for the newer Z7ii in my particular desired setup: That is, I want a 2-second delay when pressing shutter button and *then* execution of the bracketing photos -- but my finger, of course, won't be holding the shutter down at that point. Is this possible to arrange?
Hello Peter, I have no access to the Nikon Z7 or the Z7ii, anymore. However, from my tests back then I know, you can select “Self-timer” instead of “Continuous H” (see 3:18). Then a single shutter press fires all 3 images after 2 or 10 sec. delay. Set the delay by Menu > Custom Settings Menu (pen icon)> Timers (c) > Self-Timer (c2) > Self-timer delay
Hello, first, a really useful video. Thankyou! I have a z7 and it is such a nice camera. And it is influencing the way I use my D850. However.... 1) When I use a Dx lens, the Z7 will not allow me to use it in FX mode. I don't mind the vignetting, some Dx lens work OK in FX mode. Is this a feature or a bug? 2) All of my old manual focus lenses give me an F--- error when I mount them on the Z7, although they seem to work just fine. This seems to be a bug, they work just fine on the D850. I could be doing something wrong. .. I look at lack of support for the D lenses plus the problems I am having. I look at the Nikon roadmap which are all professional lenses! I try to take account of Nikon's protestations that the Z7 is not a professional camera, the 1 card slot, it is a little D850, (it is not!). The one thing I get out of the Z7 is IBIS. I don't seem to be getting an ironclad commitment to Nikon's past from them, which frankly is their strong suit. I have never been this close to just abandoning them and maybe moving to the Panasonic SR1 or even SONY. Do you have any of the problems I've experienced? Best regards, Horton Jennings
It indeed sounds like the Z7 doesn't want to play nice with your lens! We ourselves only used this camera for this video on setting it up to AEB as our focus in on HDR, and didn't notice issues with the lens with used it with. However, I am sure other people have experience with using the Z7 with D lenses, and maybe have good advice to share too. I suggest to ask your questions on forum like dpreview.com for instance.
The video actually shows to set to Aperture Priority, which means that only the shutter speed will change between the bracketed shots, while the aperture will stay the same. This is important to keep the DOP constant so that you get sharp images. More info on that here: www.hdrsoft.com/support/faq_photomatix.html#sharp
Must you hold the shutter button down through the entire series of shots? Or can you press a single press (and release, removing your hand from the camera) and have the camera take the full series automatically?
Hello Straitjacket Studios. If you select the self-timer release mode instead of continuous shooting, you’ll only need to press the shutter button once to take the bracketed photos. The self-timer option would also help reduce camera shake.
@@PhotomatixHDR Yes I understand that part. But I am trying to SAVE that setting so that my U1 setting always has that timer set to ON and it appears that does not SAVE.
@@straitjacketstudios Exactly, and this is the quirk that many have mentioned - self timer setting is not saved in the custom modes. As a workaround, people tend to save Exposure Delay into custom mode. However, exposure delay doesn't work with bracketing shot because you would have to press the shutter button per bracket shot and each shot will have that delay baked in (too long to finish the entire bracketing sequence). So far the best solution is still just to use the self-timer when needed.
@@PhotomatixHDR Damn...i don´t know why Nikon and Sony are so much against HDR...even my EOS M6 Mark II can make 7 Pictures in AEB with 2 or 3EV Spacing.... Thank you!
Do I need to hold the button down while the camera is taking photos or can I set it up delay of 2 seconds and let it take all the exposures automatically?
Yes, you can set up the 2 sec. self-timer to avoid holding down the shutter button while taking the bracketed set. onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7_z6/en/06_shooting_controls_04.html#the_self-timer
Excellent tutorial. However, I would like to take the HDR sequence in rapid succession (high frame rate) and starting the sequence after a 2 second delay. Is there anyway to do that with this camera?

@@phase4485 Yes, it is supposed to work to save these settings to U1 etc. However, doing so has the issue that the stored settings change whenever you update the exposure settings while using the stored settings.
Hi @Lenie Hulse, Unfortunately, saving these settings permanently to U1, U2 or U3 doesn't work as expected. Every time you change a setting after you recalled one of the user settings, it updates the stored setting, which renders this function useless.
On a Nikon, you can switch off the camera and restart it to disable the AEB setting usually. If that doesn't revert the setting, you will have to set the Drive mode back to [S], as you can see in the video from 2:49 on.
I bought a Nikon Z7ii. I would like to start over with my settings. Do I reset the “photo shooting menu”? Does it reset functions back to factory settings?
In full-frame playback (invoked with the play button) press the DISP button or the up and down arrow keys on the multi selector to cycle through all available photo information.
Yes, setting the Number of shots value to 0 is the way to go. However, for a more convenient setup you could save the bracketing settings to the Fn1 or Fn2 buttons. Please find the details on how to do it here: onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7_z6/en/09_menu_guide_05_f02.html
Yes, both the Nikon Z6 and Z7 can take up to 9 AEB shots, i.e. they can automatically take 3, 5, 7 or 9 exposure bracketed photos . Thank you for the question BTW, as the video should have mentioned the camera supports more than 3 bracketed shots.
Can you go 2 or 3 stops at 5 7 or 9 shots with the z7 or z6? I do real estate photography so that is an important feature for me to have with hdr photography. I am running into problems with a lot of cameras not offering that option.
Hello Swarnendu. I’m sorry I’m not familiar with that flash model, and I’m also not certain if flash and flash functions work when ‘exposure’ bracketing.
Yes, set the release mode to self-timer rather than continuous shooting. In the self-timer setup, choose a delay of 2 or 5. This is the number of seconds before the shutter releases. You only have to press the shutter button once and wait until all photos are taken.
From Lightroom, you need to export your files as JPGs. If it's for the final product, use the menu 'File> Export...' If you are combining in Photomatix, you can use our Plugin under the menu 'File> Plugin Extras> Export to Photomatix Pro...'
You don't have to. Aperture priority is easier for beginners of exposure bracketing, but manual mode is possible as well if you like more control over the shutter speed.
Yes, it is possible to take bracketed photos in Manual Mode. Just switch to Manual Mode first and then set AEB like in the video. Then you'll have to set the shutter speed (the middle or normal exposure) according to the scene's requirements.
The only other way to set AEB off (apart from setting the number of shots to zero) I am aware of is by turning the camera off and on again, but I am not sure this is what you are looking for.
I just set it up on mine using the 'Control' menu. In my case I chose the 'i' button which now brings up my bracketing options far quicker. See Custom Settings Menu F
Hello Herman, Bracketing should work on the Nikon ZII as well. I'd suggest to switch to Manual (M) Then have a look into the online manual on how to set up bracketing: onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7II_z6II/en/09_menu_guide_03_29.html

You don't have to. Aperture priority is easier for beginners of exposure bracketing, but manual mode is possible as well if you like more control over the shutter speed.
Can you do AE bracket in Manual mode ?
Yes, it is possible to take bracketed photos in Manual Mode. Just switch to Manual Mode first and then set AEB like in the video. Then you'll have to set the shutter speed (the middle or normal exposure) according to the scene's requirements.
thank you so much
thank you !!!!!!
Nice clear but zee, think you mean zed.
how merge these images..
Hello @ashkarali2239,
For merging and processing the images in Photomatix see the quick intro video here:

Is there a way to quickly turn on and off auto bracketing without having to go to the menu?
The only other way to set AEB off (apart from setting the number of shots to zero) I am aware of is by turning the camera off and on again, but I am not sure this is what you are looking for.
@@PhotomatixHDR No, the camera remembers the previously selected 'Auto bracketing, Number of shots' setting, it isn't reset to 0F.
I just set it up on mine using the 'Control' menu. In my case I chose the 'i' button which now brings up my bracketing options far quicker. See Custom Settings Menu F
Stupid question: how do I turn it back off?
Good question! Just switch off the camera and on again.
You might need to revert the release mode to 'Single'.
This seems not to work on the Nikkon Z7 II.
Hello Herman,
Bracketing should work on the Nikon ZII as well. I'd suggest to switch to Manual (M)
Then have a look into the online manual on how to set up bracketing:
onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7II_z6II/en/09_menu_guide_03_29.html
you shot this in jpg? (Lfine)
Yes, exposure bracketing works with jpeg shots, and it works with Raws too if you need that.
I don’t want to have to hold down the shutter button, it’s pretty stupid
You could activate a 2 seconds self-timer to avoid holding the shutter button.
