[QUOTE="voxmagna, post: 439191, member: 38477"] FredKingston got it right. Yes I know bracketing is on. I thought Auto Mode was for dummies and not the best option if you want to do some decent composition and use blurred backgrounds? That's why I prefer aperture priority when I can choose what DOF I want for the shot. With zoom lenses I can also try to use them at their best f stop without having to do so much lens correction in post. Back to my question. The BKT icon is lit in my viewfinder but stays lit. That really is part of my point. It cannot be set to come on for the number of shots you set up then go away to zero until you set it again. And as FredKingston said, you take 3 out of 5 or 9 bracketed shots, put the camera down, pick it up again for single shots and you are still taking bracketed shots from some point you forgot. The camera doesn't tell you unless you preview the exposure data on previous shots or switch to Auto Mode and see your exposures are wrong in 'A' priority.
