| Tried to do a bracket exposure series on my D850. OMG how crude is Nikon exposure backeting compared to Fuji XT2. On Nikon, I have to set BKT to on and adjust my parameters, (fair enough) then I need to count and press the shutter for the number of exposures in the set. Really stupid! On Fuji, I have to set BKT on the top dial. Then press the shutter and it takes a full bracket set with one shutter press! Yes, good design. To adjust my parameters, I set them in menu (fair enough). Everthing is simple and obvious. I suggest to Nikon that the add an additional one or two menu options. 1. Bracket Exposure Taking..... Take individually or take set with one shutter press (like Canon also). 2. Allow a menu item Bracketing Settings. This stores the default bracket settings of EV steps and number of exposures in the set. So simple! Nikon please note.

| Well on the 'old fashioned' D3 I set up the bracketing parameters, then I set the film winder to high (or medium) speed and press and hold the shutter release... it stops when it's finished. No real problem. Even the D200 did that, as best I recall. Edit:The only real problems are, I forget to cancel the bracketing and because it's so easy, I find myself bracketing so much I am filling my storage too quickly.

No real problem. Did think of that but didnt try it. Will try in a moment. Cull/delete the images except the HDR TIFF/JPG and keep the 0EV image.

| No problem JK, my pleasure! Funnily enough I am wading through hundreds of bracketed sets, right now, trying to cut back a bit on storage. I have got a couple of SSD's from my local hock shop, they seem to get them in occasionally. Unfortunately they are only 250Gb, I really need a Tb drive for my images but I don't access my older images that often so what I am doing is keeping the bulk of the images on the WD black spinning drive and putting current images on the SSD, together with the Lightroom catalogue and previews files. The difference that has made is amazing. The SSD's are mounted on PCIe cards and they are like, 5 times faster than the spinning WD black drives which are pretty quick themselves. Lightroom is incredibly responsive running via the SSD's, the difference is chalk and cheese. No spinning beachballs or any sort of pause, I can swipe through a whole year of images without it even blinking. With the spinning drive ten NEF's and it paused for twenty seconds while the buffer caught up.
