When an exposure
is bracketed, three pictures are taken: one with the
exposure determined by the camera (Figure 3-6, left),
one that is underexposed (Figure 3-6, middle), and
one that is overexposed (Figure 3-6, right). When
you use auto-exposure bracketing (AEB), you use
camera menu options to determine the amount
that the images are underexposed and overexposed. Typical settings let you vary
the exposure value (EV) from half an f-stop to two f-stops. Your camera menu lets

capture the image with no distortion.
TIP
If you angle the camera to capture an image of a tall
building, your image will be distorted, as the lines at the
top of the picture will converge. This distortion can be
desirable for artistic images. However, if you want a true
rendition of the scene, back up until the entire building is
visible in the viewfinder while you??™re holding the camera
parallel to the ground.

you set the exposure bracketing by choosing how much the EV of one image is
underexposed and how much the EV of another image is overexposed.
