Tonight I went out and tried a tripod shoot of an island about 3km offshore from a beach using HDR.
There was a full moon but patchy clouds with the occasional gap.
Anyway, the D5200 has the HDR 3 exposure bracket mode. I activated that to the maximum +/- 2.0 e.v, set shutter to wireless remote, activated shutter delay mode, set aperture priority mode, set my aperture to 7.1.
Got a gap in the clouds with the full moon, went to shoot and the remote wouldn't trigger the camera.
A message on the rear lcd screen said something like "too dark".
To get the camera to fire I had to change the iso to Hi 2 and use the normal shutter button.
But of course now my photos are super-grainy.
FYI - Picture stats are, ISO 10159 18mm f/7.1 4.0sec
What should or shouldn't I have done?
