Bracketing for nikon 610
Apr 29, 2015 12:19:44 #
I have been trying to figure out the bracketing for the nikon 610. I understand how to make the settings. What I don't understand is when shooting, does this camera only shoot one frame and then break down the exposures internally, or am I suppose to shoot three frames to get the bracketing and exposures to work. On my nikon 5200, when doing the bracketing it shoots three separate frames breaking down the exposure with each shot. Anyone out there that might be able to provide any information on the bracketing sequence for the 610 model? Thanks in advance

If you have the camera set for single shots, you need to press the shutter release three times. What I generally do is set the camera for high speed burst, in which case you can take the 3 shots quickly with one press of the release. This is particularly useful for hand held HDR attempts. I usually set my bracketing to take the bracket in under-normal-over sequence.

See page 154 in the D610 manual. It's all there.
The manual is your friend! Especially the electronic (pdf) version, as you can perform a word search, such as "bracketing".

The 610 works the same way as my D750. You set what you want to bracket on custom setting e6 - exposure, flash, WB. You set the order you want the shots to be bracketed - under - mtr - over, etc. When you want to shoot a bracketed sequence you push the BKT button on the front of the camera and set the number of shots in the sequence with the rear command dial, and the amount of the bracket (.3, .7, 1.0, 2 etc.) Then you press the shutter button once for each of the number of shots you set for the sequence. If you set the number of shots as five, you must press the shutter button five times. The camera automatically adjusts the exposure depending on what mode you are in. If you are in A mode, it will adjust the shutter speed to alter the exposure. If you are in S mode it will adjust the aperture. If you are in M mode it will adjust the shutter speed. I don't know what it does in P mode - I never use it.

Gobuster, how to you set the camera for the three frame burst? What I have so far, I have the bracketing set for three frames at the under, normal, over setting. When I release the shutter it takes one picture, yet when I review the picture on playback I find three exposures, but they are all the same. I'm a little confused on this model. As I had mentioned, I have no problem with the 5200 model, this ones not quite the same.

Go to your shooting menu, scroll down to "Multiple Exposure" and turn it off. Multiple exposure burst is an entirely different thing than bracketing. To get the burst effect with exposure bracketing turn the release mode dial to CH (continuous high). Then when you take the bracketed set hold the shutter button down until you hear the appropriate number of clicks.

Worked perfectly, thank you so much for the information. Saturday I'll be doing some shots at a car show and plan to do some in HDR. Again, thanks

Here's a tip: you can set the self timer to fire off a certain number of frames. If you are doing three image brackets you can set the self timer to shoot off three shots, and if bracketing is enabled it will do the bracket series automatically. This is nice if you are on a tripod and don't want to introduce camera shake by touching to shutter button.

To add to this tip,
You can also set an initial delay to wait until after the mirror settles.
If you set the number of shots to 2, the number of shots in the sequence will be equal to the number of shots set up for bracketing, even if more than 2. Try it. A Nikon quirk.

In much the same manner, a method I've used (with other Nikon models) is to set the value in register "d6: Max. Continous Release", on page 230 of the user manual, to the number of bracket shots. Then shooting in CL or CH, for high or low speed continuous shooting.
For example, if bracketing is set for a 3 shot bracket, d6: is set to 3, and either CL or CH mode continuous mode is used. With one very non-critical press of the shutter release the camera fires off exactly 3 shots, and then stops.
With a D610 there is a hitch if flash is used, as the camera will only take one exposure that way.

Now there's an ah-hah moment! Shooting at CH speed I have trouble stopping at the right number of clicks. Problem solved and thanks, Apaflo. :thumbup:

Is Bracketing and HDR Photography the same?
If not, then excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of bracketing a set of photos.
Also is the above relevant to the term 'stacking'?
