I have often wondered why the bracketing ON/OFF wasnt a firmware based operation that could be put on the Customs setting. So for example.... the Fn buttom might be assigned to Bracketing on and off ...rather than just Bracketing Burst. The way it is at the moment where you have to physically switch bracketing on and off witht he range settings is too slow....and leads to you forgetting bracketing has been left on!!!!

The D600 gives +-3EVĀ 

Setting the Continuous shooting mode to 3 and the CL to 5 fps will give 3 quick bracketed shots just pressing the shutter once and when disabling it the BKT can be set to zero

All bracketing choices require one normal metered shot so for jk's situation three shot bursts would be required.



No, I meant the EV step size. ...0.3, 0.7 and 1.0EV... not the number of 'F'rames.
If there was a 2.0 EV option JK would only need to do 2shots, by setting the exp comp to -0.3 and setting the bracket to +2F ...ie 0 and +2.0.
