Please Read: The D300 allows Auto-bracketing up to 9 stops with 9 shots. That’s -4 to +4 stops and at +4 shutter speeds can get low and motion blur becomes a problem. This will allow you to program the camera to take all 9 shots at varying exposures automatically. Also, apparently you don’t need to set the number of frames per interval to 9. It can be set to 1 x 1 = 1 and it will force the camera to take the number of shots configured in auto-bracketing back-to-back. I don’t know why it works that way. So if you have bracketing set to 9F and interval timer set to 2 x 1 = 1 it will actually take 18 pictures. (9 at each interval) Another correction on the video: When I have the Interval set for 1 second, and the display reads 5 x 1 = 5 I say that is 5 frames every 5 seconds for a total of 25 seconds. That is wrong, it is one frame every second for 5 frames for a total of 5 seconds. And one last note about auto-bracketing: The feature has a ceiling of 30 seconds to 1/8000 seconds. Any auto-bracketing exposures beyond that will be exposed at 30s or 1/8000s. You must either change your ISO, apeture or use manual/bulb mode beyond those limits.
From the two leaders in the category we take a closer look at the Nikon D300 and the Canon 40D. they both share a lot of technology with their bigger siblings in a more affordable package.
