- In photography, bracketing is the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different camera settings. Bracketing is useful and often recommended in situations that make it difficult to obtain a satisfactory image with a single shot. Here, Nikon School Training Manager Neil Freeman (IG @nikonneiluk) explains how to do it in this video!

Just a suggestion.. but why not use the Self Timer - then you're not introducing any shake by keeping your finger on the trigger. You can then fire off multiple shots with one push of the shutter.
That is basic!
I'm still shooting the D810 (that I have owned for 6yrs) & have always done it manually, moving the shutter speed after each photo, until last week. Because I like to use the timers, I shoot in bulb mode. After setting up for a bracket in the menus, I just hit the bulb mode. The mirror goes up, 2 seconds later the shutter goes up &, 2 second later the bracket sequence starts & takes all the photos without holding the shutter button down. A little long with both timers if you have a setting/rising sun. But this vid is good because it targets beginners & potential Nikon customers while keeping it simple to the basic concept of the feature, showing the end result & why you would use it. Teaching & selling is an art.
Too fiddly for something easily added in a firmware update as a single function.
Considering that he himself was out of focus on the opening shot, I was suspect of the info he was giving throughout. I really just needed to see where it was in the menu more than anything. Nikon makes a great product, but sometimes I really wonder about how they manage their social media..
Helpful video instructions, but that finished product looked like something from a 1990's HDR program. I can help you with post processing bracketed shots if you'd like or there are plenty of youTube videos to assist. I will be making a tutorial on "Developing for Extended Dynamic Range" later this month.
Thanks for the info on bracketing... I get it. But I really don't want to hold down the shutter button or carry a remote cord or wired cord. In My D850 I could set the bracketing and number of shots easily and could trigger the self-timer and it would run on with a 2 second delay. I cannot do this in the d7ii., UNLESS I have the 2 second delay setup and stated the number of shots I wanted in the high or low release setting. If I make any changes the release times default to a single shot again.
Is there a controlled setting that I am not seeing or custom controls?
How about bringing back the 0.5 to 3 second exposure delay so I don’t have to start carrying a $3 cable release with my Z9? Too fiddle to use the self timer method.
💯👏👏
Thanks.
You said go to AE but you went to AEflash ….
Thanks Neil, great video.
how some this Auto Bracketing is missing in my D 750 ???
Where is this brilliant location please? In the comments we have several suggestions to not manually keep the shutter button pressed, so can we have your one touch preference please Neil?
What is the make and model of that ball head?

how do you put the images together
photoshop (manual) / lightroom (auto)
How are people merging the final images at the end?
photoshop
Photoshop or lightroom, or related software
AE bracket + self timer with same number of shots as bracket. One press of button and bracket is complete
Agreed, except even with 1 selected it will happily shoot many frames. This really should be flagged in a video titled “ALL about bracketing”. I get the impression Neil is not a fan of bracketing or HDR.
Yes this works, but if you change the base settings like shutter or f stop the bracketing is the same but the timer resets to 1 frame and the bracketing does not execute. Its a force of a new habit but its a bit tough to hit that small i button with a pair of gloves. Solution? setup a F button to select the 2 second delay? it feels very clumsy to me.
Nice and clear, but still got a doubt, what if you need to take 3 shots at -2ev / 0ev / +5ev , not to be -2ev and +2ev ? Is there a way to customise it? (Instead of taking,5 shots like you do,) Thanks for great tutorial!!
Hello there. Unfortunately, you are not able to customize the bracketing to irregular intervals, as you mentioned (-2ev / 0ev / +5ev). It is only possible to set the bracketing to regular intervals such as -2ev / 0ev / +2ev. You can confirm this and see more information regarding the bracketing through the following link to the online manual of the Z 6II and Z 7II - onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7II_z6II/en/09_menu_guide_03_29.html
Horrible la foto resultante
The final result is ugly
Agreed. The exposure inside and outside is WAY too similar. There needs to be some difference otherwise you're left with a flat, hard to distinguish image. Blah. But, the trainer is pleasant and succinct; I enjoyed watching him.
Where do you process de 5 images? LR ou PS?
yes both
Is there a way to take all shots by pushing the button once and not holding it down during the exposures?
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Paul. An alternative so that you can do what you mentioned would be to use the Interval Timer option. Instead of selecting "Bracketing" you can select "Interval timer" once there, select "Options" then you can select "AE Bracketing", "Time lapse" or "Off". In this case, you would choose "AE Bracketing". For more information, please see the following link if you need further info - onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z8/en/psm_interval_timer_shooting_guid-9a9c8931-4e8c-3c59-89ff-15a7b6f6ca81_132.html

Wow, that’s great info. I’m trying to take HDR shots of the total eclipse April 8th, 2024. As fast as 1/2000 sec and up to 4 seconds. That’s a lot of F stops.
I’ll study your alternative approach carefully.
Thanks for helping me.
Paul
what kind of tripod head is that?
