I just read that to do bracketing on my D7100 you have to have the camera set to shoot JPEG. Can anyone set me straight?

That's when you do white balance bracketing. If RAW, RAW+JPEG fine, RAW+JPEG nomal, or RAW+JPEG basic is selected, the white balance bracketing is canceled.
I bracket exposures for HDR photography with my D7000 and D500. I have the camera set to record only RAW files.

You can use bracketing in all shooting formats with the D7100. However, white balance bracketing is not available at an image quality of NEF (RAW). pg 137 of the Nikon D7100 Manual.

Make sure you turn off the bracketing option when you are finished using it.

As everybody else has said, yes you can bracket on your D7100. Keep it simple, 3 shots +-1 stop. The D7100 can do up to 5 bracketed shots, but in my experience, less is more.
What are you going to use to combine the images?

You have been given the answer to this: I have not seen any comment about putting the d7100 on 'Continuous High' to take the pictures. When bracketing is set, it only takes the number set in bracketing. (Hold the button down) and don't forget to return it to single when you turn bracketing off.

Actually, there is not a lot to learn about photography. Photography is pretty simple. It's exposure and how the light-sensitive material reacts to that exposure. Composition is also pretty easy to understand.
The part that is "a lot to learn" is all the gimmicks built into modern cameras and how those affect the simple things listed above.

To do HDR with my D7100 I bracket 5 shots, 2 stops apart.
Higher models can bracket more shots- 7 or 9 rather than only 5.
Lower models can do zero or 3 shots in bracketing mode.

Hi, I belong to a Seniors Camera Club. The recommendation for those who join having little more than a cell phone camera experience - and decide to get DSLR, is to put it into full auto mode and start taking pictures. This gives experience in handling the camera, zoom, where to focus etc. and in getting the photo's out of the camera into the computer ( or photo-print shop).
This gives confidence because regardless of what problems they may get into while learning manual settings, they can always go back to auto to get the picture.
The next step is the most commonly used mode: 'Aperture Priority' - practice putting it into Aperture Priority and changing the ISO and aperture until one can do it without help from the manual. Then go and take photo's in this mode for time. When comfortable - add another mode. etc. etc.

I normally always shoot exclusively in RAW with my D7100 and bracketing works fine.
