Thanks. I’m a contract real estate photography shooter for a company that require us to do multiple exposures for blending. And they require the exact settings you displayed here (5 exposures in 1 stop increments). Currently I am using an old D90 to do the shooting. The D90 will only allow for up to 3 bracketed shots. To which I have to switch to 2 stop increments to get a total of 6 and delete one. This requires me to touch the camera in between each set of 3 shots. I have decided to upgrade to this camera and am getting it this week. I plan to create a user setting with the exact bracketing setup you just did. This will speed up my productivity. I will be able to shoot each scene without having to touch the camera multiple times. This also speeds up time behind the computer because the software will not have to work as hard to auto align the exposures. Thanks again for this tutorial. I gave you a like and hit the subscribe. 👍
Thanks a lot. The content is very well presented and the structure very detailed. You start from zero, and you handle all the settings involved. Yes, I know most of them, but this is a video by a self acclaimed nerd. And for this reason, it is complete. I rather have the mentioning of a step I know from my own experience and from reading the manual than a missing step leading to a bad implementation. Some people have a problem with the accent. You should listen to the accents of some Australians, Californians, people from the indies. This video is the kind I like, correct, complete, a handwritten document as well. Once I move to a mirrorless camera with a native 18*300 mm lens, I hope to find the same in depth explanations for that camera.
I missed adding photo examples, especially because the look of a HDR is mainly specified by the way the picture is edited afterwards. So, seeing the taken images during this tutorial would not give you a clear result of what can be achieved. Anyway, if you like, I'd invite you to visit my website with many photo galleries. Here is a link to our trip to Brittany, France. You can find many HDR in that travelblog: pixelfriedhof.com/en/a-june-in-brittany-travelling-the-atlantic-coast-of-france-by-motorhome/
Daniel... VERY nice video and instruction on how to set up BKT/HDR on a Nikon D7500! Question: if you go through and set all your settings, as you demonstrated, and then save them under a "U1" or "U2" profile...once you're in that particular profile, can you still manually change any of the settings you saved in there? For example, you advocate setting the aperture to f8. If however, you find yourself out somewhere, like shooting a landscape, and you find that the f8 doesn't quite give you the DOF you want...can you manually change that aperture setting whilst under that saved "U" setting? If so, I'm assuming when you step out of that user-defined setting, things will default back to how you set them before you saved it, correct? One other note...I usually have "Auto-ISO" enabled so that things will "float" according to the conditions. I'm assuming it would be a good idea to turn that OFF?
Yes, you can then still change the setzings, just see the saved settings as a starting point to adjust then. When having ISO set to auto, you might see some steppings in brightness in the moment the camera changes ISO values in the background. Therefore I disable it.
Thanks Daniel: Excellent tutorial! I believe....with Menu, Custom Setting Menu, Timers, C3 Self-timer, you can leave the number of shots =1, and still do your 5 bracketing shots. Leaving the default at 1 would be useful for most non HDR shots.
Hello and thank you for the HDR video. I have had the D7500 for some time and use its in real estate. The HDR works great but I wish to use just a single shot. Do you have the best settings for the D7500 single shot? At the moment I'm using A mode with iso 100 but for some reason, my picture is too dark which means a lot of effort in lightroom to improve the picture. Many thanks in advance
I save my settings and it showed saved but after I hadn’t used the camera for awhile and went to U1 all my settings were gone. Do I have to set it up each time?
This very useful and very helpful. Could you please do a work through for a similar setting for using the D7500 WEBCAM. I often have to reset my focus multiple times. Is there a way have make it tracks you and save the settings for webcam? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Daniel from here in New Zealand, I've been schooled and your explanation was clear and concise. I just need to buy the camera now. Can you confirm if possible please, the D7500 has an AE Bracketing Range ±5 EV but the D5600 has only ±2 EV I believe, does that mean 2 plus and 2 minus or 1 plus and 1 minus. Surely the greater the range the better for blending for HDR and only cameras with say 5 minimum should be considered. Apologies for the Newbie query and thanks again.
Hello Konrad, +/- 5EV means a possible total of 9 different steps: 5+, 5- and 0 in the case of the D7500. +/-2EV means a total of 5 different steps: 2+, 2- and 0 in the case of the D5600. Keep in mind, the faster AF-speed of the D7500. I would recommend that camera. If you like, you can buy both cameras via this link, I would invest the revenue in beer. geni.us/nNBr (Amazon Affiliate Link). Best regards from germany!
Thank you so very much, I wonder after I did the settings for bracketing and reset machine settings and by pressing the U1 the settings still there, or I have to do it again? Thanks again!
Hey, first you switch the camera to the U1 bank. From now on all settings that you change will affect everything saved in U1. You don't change the A-Mode on the dial, as you only alter the U1 bank. When you switch the mode back to A, you shouldn't have altered anything in there. Regards, Daniel
Can we store programme file (setting) of HDR bracketing or time lapse in the SD card or U1/U2, so that every time I need not to reset the camera after one operation, just to recall the setting from the storage place?
Useful but found it quite confusing you waiting a few minutes into the video to explain that the HDR built-in was grayed out. I think that difference between your manual HDR and the camera HDR should have been your starting point of the video
I had a bit of a problem with your accent and mispronunciation of Ah PER chur and EEEzo, plus low volume and monotone voice. But after watching the video several times I was able to get something out of it. Overall a decent video, but with the above comments.

Hi, you use mf or af for focus bracketing? Tks
a trick : watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

Thanks, Borrowing this camera from my dad, your video rocked. It got me exactly what I needed. Thanks
Thank you for your time in putting this together. Very helpful!
Thank you for this detailed step by step instruction. Loved it!!! Very helpful!
Thank you for making this video. Very informative and to the point. Im looking forward to trying this out on my D7500.
Nice vid Daniel, Thanks for your time doing this. Can't wait to try this out
Thank you for a simple explanation. I had been struggling to set the camera up for bracketing and only achieved one shot. eager to get out and try it.
Thank you very much for the explantion. I just bought my nikon d7500, youre step by step tuturiol is helpfull.
Very detailed, just what I needed!
Thank you so much for this. I am fairly new to photography and this helped tremendously
Paced well. I want to have this default setting for night time shots. Very informative.

The best explanation for this camera to take HDR photos, thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Thank you for this great tutorial! Exactly the information I needed.
I really enjoyed the video. The explanation was very clear and concise. I would have liked to have seen photo examples from the settings.

Daniel's Tutorials stunning pictures especially of Chalk Cliffs of Etreat. Very well done!
Thanks Daniel very informative
Nicely elaborated.
Lisbon, Portugal. Nice tutorial.
The green 'AUTO' button is also great!! Hi hi. Many thanks anyway for taking the time
Very useful tutorial. Thankyou

Thank you, very informative. I’m learning to d7500. Where can I get the text version? I have a notebook where I use it for reference
This was extremely useful. Thank yo very much!
Well done! gentleman
I haven't tried HDR on my d7500. I see you did the settings in A mode but do you shoot manually in HDR?
Very helpful,thank you so much.

Nikon D7500, how to setup date display in the pictures, I try go to pencil icon but I could find the setup HOW ! Thanks
Thank you, this was very helpful. Great Idea.
Hi Daniel, can you use HDR for Astrophotography and if so how do I set up the D7500 please and a million thanks for this tutorial
Thanks Daniel from here in New Zealand, I've been schooled and your explanation was clear and concise.
I just need to buy the camera now.

Hello Konrad,
+/- 5EV means a possible total of 9 different steps: 5+, 5- and 0 in the case of the D7500.

For image quality, nikon d7500 or fuji xt30?
does this shoot 9 exposures at 1stop?
I think it does 9 exposures with a 0.7 stop.
Great video
After changing all the settings and saving to U1, do you have to change all the menu settings back to default in A mode ?
Hey,
first you switch the camera to the U1 bank. From now on all settings that you change will affect everything saved in U1. You don't change the A-Mode on the dial, as you only alter the U1 bank.
When you switch the mode back to A, you shouldn't have altered anything in there.

Can we store programme file (setting) of HDR bracketing or time lapse in the SD card or U1/U2, so that every time I need not to reset the camera after one operation, just to recall the setting from the storage place?
I think you can write configurations to SD-cards. Yes.
THNKS
do I physicaly have to take 5 shots, or the camera does it for me
Useful but found it quite confusing you waiting a few minutes into the video to explain that the HDR built-in was grayed out. I think that difference between your manual HDR and the camera HDR should have been your starting point of the video
super explen
Speak louder please
