           6.26     BRACKET ORDER

           Menu Position  MENU      5  Bracket Order

           What it Does  Specifies in which order the camera implements the
           bracketing feature

           Recommended Setting   0  -  +



           When the exposure bracketing feature is enabled (as explained in Section
           5.7.6), the camera takes three or five pictures, each at a slightly different
           exposure to “cover your bases”.  (This was especially necessary back in the
           days of slides.)  The question becomes, “In what order should the images
           be taken?”  The camera gives you two choices:
               Choice #1: Normal Exposure  Underexposed  Overexposed  (0  -  +)
               Choice #2:  Underexposed  Normal Exposure  Overexposed  (-  0  +)
           I  recommend  the  setting  which  takes  the  “normal  exposure”  first,  only
           because  when  you’re  shooting  things  that  move,  the  decisive  moment
           becomes a higher priority and the backup “just in case” exposure tweaks
           are slightly less important.
