o Select an appropriate number of auto-bracketed frames if your camera offers
different options for the number of frames. For instance, if your camera can auto-
bracket at a maximum of +/- 1 EV increments, then select 5 or more frames if
your camera allows it. Five frames spaced by +/- 1 EV increments will give you
the same dynamic range coverage as three frames spaced by +/- 2 EV
increments.
After capturing the bracketed images, check the histogram previews in playback
mode to ensure that you have captured an adequate range of exposures.
It is important to remember that the number of exposures needed depends on the dynamic
range of the scene, in addition to the exposure increment. For most outdoor scenes, three
exposures taken at +/- 2 exposure increment will be sufficient, provided the scene does not
include the sun. However, for the interior of a room with a bright view out of the window, you will
need at least five images taken with an exposure increment of +/- 2, or nine images taken with
an exposure increment of +/- 1.
