One of the features that comes pretty standard with most cameras is Auto Exposure Bracketing or AEB.
In this video tutorial by AdoramaTV photographer Mark Wallace covers four important points.
- What it is.
- Why you should use it.
- How it works.
- How to set your camera to do it automatically.
This video teaches you exactly how it works.

I don’t think my D3200 can do this.
Unfortunately Carey you’re right. Yours is one of the few cameras where Nikon has left that feature out. I’ve no idea why Nikon would leave off such a simple feature, it’s disappointing and very strange in 2012 esp on a DSLR..entry level or not.
Great information.
I have both the Nikon D7000 and the D600 and shoot in manual mode most of the time. In your video you state that AEB does not work on Manual mode. I am pretty sure these 2 cameras do shoot in AEB. The camera uses the auto exposure compensation feature to over and under expose by up to 3 stops. Can you please let me know if this is correct, or maybe I am misunderstanding something.
This video, as all of the videos in the Adorama series, is excellent. However, I do want to point out that exposure is somewhat subjective, depending on what is being shot. For instance, I shoot a lot of sporting events, many of them in full sun. When an athlete has her back to the sun, the camera’s light meter will want to underexpose her face. So,to get a proper exposure on her face, I have no choice but to completely blow out the background, which the histogram will show is way too bright. Remember that as photographers, we are first and foremost problem solvers, which means that we must adjust our plan of attack as dictated by the circumstances. Bottom line is AEB is a useful tool in some circumstances (such as the one shown here – landscapes). I think that those who are utilizing AEB (such as the scenario which I just described) can use exposure compensation instead.
