Hi Zoe!

The D200 is a great camera for bracketing.

To set it up:

Hold the BKT button on the back of the camera and use the two control rings on the right side of the camera. You can bracket for exposure or white balance, taking up to nine shots in a row. Watch the top LCD screen to choose how many shots and the exposure increments.

You can also need to set up more options in your menu. Go to the Custom menu (Menu 4), arrow down into Bracketing / Flash and choose:

Auto bracket set (AE & flash, AE only, flash only, WB bracketing)
Manual mode bracketing (Flash/shutter speed, flash/shutter speed/aperture, flash/aperture, flash only)
Auto bracket order (MTR>Under>Over, Under>MTR>Over)
Auto bracket selection (Manual value select, preset value select)

If this is for HDR, I would suggest a minimum of 5 shots at 1/2 a stop offset.

Then take that many pictures! (i.e. if you have it set to five, make sure you take five).

I hope this helps!

Great explanation Tim. Can you give me the same info regarding Auto Bracketing for the Olympus E1 ?
Wether I set up 3 or 5 frames, it only takes 1 ( even with the Noise reduction set to off )

And yes...it is for HDR

Many thanks in advance.
