Bracketing
The camera offers three types of bracketing: exposure bracketing,
flash bracketing, and white balance bracketing. In exposure
bracketing (pg. 131), the camera varies exposure compensation
with each shot, while in the case of flash bracketing (pg. 131), flash
level is varied with each shot (i-TTL and, in the case of the SB-900
and SB-800, auto aperture flash control modes only; see pages 186
and 189). Only one photograph is produced each time the shutter
is released, meaning that several shots are required to complete
the bracketing sequence. Exposure and flash bracketing are
recommended in situations in which it is difficult to set exposure
and there is not enough time to check results and adjust settings
with each shot.
In white balance bracketing (pg. 135), the camera creates multiple
images each time the shutter is released, each with a different
white balance adjustment. Only one shot is required to complete
the bracketing sequence. White balance bracketing is
recommended when shooting under mixed lighting or
experimenting with different white balance settings.

At default settings, the camera varies both exposure and flash level.
Custom Setting e4 ([Auto bracketing set], pg. 328) is used to choose the
type of bracketing performed.
