Just playing around with the menus on the D700, and thought I'd see what the auto bracketing did. Is there a way for the bracket sequence to run with only one press of the shutter?
Unless I'm being stupid (highly probable), it looks like you have the press the shutter for each image :shrug:
Would have thought that slightly defeats the object.
 
Can't you set it to continuous shooting? That is how the D300 works. It's in the manual ;).
 
I usually just hold my finger down on continuous. Not sure if it works the same as my brothers 5DMkii though, if using a remote cable release, 1 click will do continuous
 
It is continuous shoot you need to set it to, it's the same on the D90, not that i have one but watched a video on bracketing on the D90 maybe there is similar video for D700.

Here is the D90 video very good for a novice like me.

He mentions it around 1.14secs

True, it does, but some of the exposures may be long, so don't want to keep my pinky on the button, possibly shaking the camera.

Use the self timer to set it off.
 
On the Canon 450D you set AEB, then turn the timer on. press the shutter once and it takes all the pictures in a row for you.

You are right.
How stupid of me - I was looking at it last night too.
Only has my D700 just over a week and slowly trying to get to grips with it.

So do you need to Auto Bracket on one click but you'd rather not have to push the shutter button sat behind the camera?

As Auto Bracket with one shutter click will be continuos mode, which means if you don't want to trigger from the camera only option is some kind of remote trigger
 
if you go into the interval shooting menu (can't quite remember where it is as don't have camera in front of me) you can set it up to take however many shots, a fraction of a second apart. Unfortunately you have to go back through the menu's each time to set if off but it is quite easy and at least means you don't run the risk of camera shake if you're using a tripod.

Will post back once I remember where it is.

I'm trying to avoid shake with the longer exposures. A remote would do it though, just thought there should be a way to do it in camera.

That's the sort of thing I was after. Might be able to assign it a custom setting profile.
 
Try this it works on my canon. Enable bracketing and set the self timer for 2 secs. It then takes all the pictures when it fires.
