Bracketing
Bracketing automatically varies exposure, white balance, or Active D-Lighting (ADL) 
settings slightly with each shot, “bracketing” the current value. Choose in situations 
in which it is difficult to set exposure or white balance and there is not time to check 
results and adjust settings with each shot, or to experiment with different settings for 
the same subject.
