Thank you. I seriously favor HDR, so I'd enjoy learning a way for the auto bracketing to stay, as I set it, even after I turn the camera off.
Elliot, you may be out of luck with that. There may be someone that knows a trick to keep bracketing on after the camera powers off, but I haven't found a setting to change it.
Also, when I'm out and about and I know and I know I'm going to take a lot of HDR photos (sunset/sunrise/night), I usually keep my camera on and bypass the auto shutoff. I really don't use live view that much, so my battery life is still very good.
Too bad we can't 'swap' that corner of our chips. :)

I've used it several times in the short time I've had my Nikon D5600. Pretty sure it stays on even after powering the camera off. 3 shot Burst mode best way, I've found to shoot. I didn't realize at first that you had to press the shutter 3 times. With the 3 shot burst, there is a slight hesitation between the sets of bracketed exposures - if you keep the shutter release depressed. With the lower end D5600, a 3 shot bracket is the only option for me, but can set 1/3 stop to 2 or 3 stops. I can do 1/3 stop increments or 1/2 stop increments. Experiment with it. I used it when in a museum type venue, shooting available light. Interesting results. Tried it while trying to learn all the various settings and capabilities of my new and first DSLR. Beside exposure, I can bracket white balance also, but I've never used anything but auto white balance. Looking at my manual on my phone, I see I can bracket Active D-Lighting also. No clue as to what that is, at this point. Too many settings . . . for my brain to remember. Kinda miss my Minolta film camera, but not so much to go out and start shooting film again...
