Hi, I am new here and with the D750. More used to the pro-sumer cropped frame Nikons. But something has caught me out with the D750 and I don't know if it is just my ignorance:
The D750 is fast for multiple shootings, but what I want to use most is exposure bracketing. Whilst learning all the options, I set exposure bracketing on for 5 frames and expected the function to be active only in the multi shot modes. Then I was out taking test shots and couldn't figure out why my exposures were correct in single shot Auto point and shoot mode, but way off in all the priority modes.
Well, it seems that bracketing once set applies in single shot mode for all the priority settings A,S, M, BUT there is no indication in the viewfinder as to which shot you are on or have left in the bracketing sequence. When the sequence of shots has completed, subsequent single shots repeat the sequence again. I know that there is a bracketing icon in the viewfinder, but unless I have missed something, there is no indication of where you are in the stop setting sequence.
As I am a Newbie (or an idiot!) with the D750, I cannot believe Nikon would include a camera feature which once set could easily get under or over exposed pictures. So where am I going wrong in my thinking, or what the camera should be showing me in the viewfinder? I would like to see that I am on say bracketed shot 3 of 5 or a graphic line showing what bracketed shots have been taken and how many are next. Having the auto bracketing stay set to keep repeating, instead of being a single press for one sequence seems a sure way to get bad pictures. Thanks for any replies
