Use the following guide to set up your camera to capture exposures ready for HDReal® processing. Note that this Nikon model only supports bracketing of 3 exposures while optimal results require 5 exposures.
Press the MODE button and turn the dial to A. Aperture should stay the same so that the depth of field does not change in between exposures. Only the shutter speed should change.
Press the MENU button, and in the Shooting Menu, set Image Quality to JPEG Normal, set Image Size to Medium, and set JPEG Compression to Size priority.
Press the WB button on the back and set white balance to Auto. Our system automatically corrects white balance so you don't need to do it in the camera.
Press the Release Mode dial lock release on top and turn the Release Mode dial to CH (Continuous high speed). This way, you'll be able to take all bracketed exposures with a single press of the cable release or shutter button.
Press the MENU button, and under the Custom Settings menu, set Auto bracketing set to AE only. Pressing the BKT button on top, rotate the main command dial in the back to set 3 shots. While pressing the BKT button on top, rotate the sub-command dial in the front to set 2.0 exposure increment.
Press the MENU button, and under the Custom Settings menu Shooting/Display, set File Number Sequence to On. This prevents images from having the same file number.
