Aperture mode is the way to go.

Very credible posters have provided convincing arguments that Manual mode is the way to go. Can you please provide more details to support your belief in the advantage of your approach?

You will probably be deluged with replies. Manual presumes that you will hold the same aperture for all the exposures. This is not an advantage, as you call it, it is absolutely necessary. You want only the exposure to vary and nothing else.

I will also say that your FOCUS also should be locked as well as exposure for best results .......that means your AF lens should be in manual focus mode or just use a manual focus/aperture lens......

Using auto bracketing, at least on Canon cameras, locks the auto focus in and retains it through the series of bracketed shots since you press and hold the shutter through the series of shots.

Manual is one way. In any camera that offers it you also can set automatic bracketing your camera's aperture priority auto exposure mode (usually "A" or "Av")... or use exposure compensation... in conjunction with aperture priority or M+Auto ISO auto exposure mode. In any of these, it's probably best to NOT change the aperture, since that might effect depth of field and mess with your images. Instead change the shutter speed... or possibly the ISO if not using too high that might cause noise in images.
It's usually best to take all the shots on a tripod and relatively quickly, so that the scene doesn't change and the images match up as best possible.
While some cameras can do in-camera HDR, in all cases I've seen that limits you to shooting JPEGs. It might be better to shoot RAW files, convert them to TIFFs, then combine those in post-processing software. That would give you a lot more control over the final results than doing it in-camera.

If you shoot in raw you can get HDR images in post-processing with Lightroom and just shoot as you normally do.
Of all of the approaches to HDR, this would be the least desirable. However, if your camera is full frame and reasonably recent - you have far greater latitude with exposure than older cameras, and you can in fact get a very good one-exposure image without having to result to HDR processing.

If by Aperture mode you mean Aperture priority, what exactly are you doing to vary the exposure? I must be missing something . . .

Same here...I shoot real estate and I want to keep the DOF constant, so I use AV mode and let the camera set the shutter speed, adjusting ISO occassionally when the lighting calls for it. I normally use a five exposure bracket.
Try a 3 exposure or even a 2 exposure bracket. I find 2 or 3 usually suffice.

Sorry, there’s no reason, it’s just policy ! Have never gotten around to trying HDR, but finally making the time with my interest piqued. Being a fairly happy owner of Nikon D7100, wondering what the bias or big issue is - re: Nikon. Interested in a reasonable reply.
Really wonder about it myself at times. I think sometimes it’s all about the fanbois and not about the brand. Nikon fanbois seem to have the silliest most convoluted arguments and opinions so that creates a facade that just begs for some graffiti.

That's true enough. I sometimes forget what others are using gear wise. I don't have any problem with the SonyA7RIV.
I never shot one exposure for HDR with my older A-mount Sony's ... it probably would be insufficient.
Thanks for catching that.

You simply are ...all over the place. You can't take every position...can you?
The example given in the book earlier was accurate ... but somehow you think it's untested...lol.
Then the same methodology is given by someone else a few posts later...and you respond...interesting ideas.

You vary the exposure either by manually changing shutter speed or via auto bracketing, which does the same thing.

Did Ansel Adams shoot in HDR mode?
Yes through exposure and development.......fully manual mode ........REAL photographers use film
