Bracketing automatically varies exposure, flash level, Active 
D-Lighting (ADL), or white balance slightly with each shot,

check results and adjust settings with each shot, or to 
experiment with different settings for the same subject.

shooting menu, which contains the 
following options:
• AE & flash: The camera varies exposure
