nikon 3100 - bracketing

[cjf]

Good morning,

I have just bought a Nikon D3100. Seems automatic bracketing is not available. Am I correct? If yes, how can it be done manually?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Claude

I just got one too. I hope you are wrong. I don't have my camera or manual with me now.

Hope to receive my 18-55 lens today via UPS.

Have Fun and Good Luck

Correct, the D3100 does not have automatic exposure bracketing.

You can do it manually with the camera in M, A, or S shooting modes.

Keith, I'm sorry I'm at work but interested. Are you saying it does have "bracketing" but you have to set the variables?

Thanks, Mick

You have to do it manually by changing the exposure settings, like photographers have been doing for over 100 years.

^^^ Thanks for talking me through it when I couldn't get to my gear to see for myself. I am disappointed because I want to learn HDR. I have tried once with my D7000 and thanks to a bro here for getting me started. ( I want to thank him proper when I can show some real progress).

Even with a tripod, changing exposure settings seems shaky, which seems counter productive for HDR.

It's not a problem if you have a good tripod. I used a Giottos tripod and Manfrotto 3-way head, and bracketed the exposures for this HDR manually:
