Hi

I have a Nikon D60 and have been watching tutorials etc and I found one technique called Auto Expoure braketing (when you take a picture at settings the camera recommends and then it automaticly takes pictures two stops under exposed and two over. I notice that the D60 does not offer this at an automatic setting however the tutorial did also say that it is possible to do it manually. Is it possible to do it manually on the D60. I am a complete novice and have mislaid the manual any help appericated.

yeah I always used to do it on my D40X. You just put the exposure comp. +1, 0 and then -1 (or more if you want) and I think thats what auto exposure bracketing does but a lot more easily! :lol:
 
Am I missing out on something big by not having auto exposure braketing
 
Yeah its possible to do it manually

in the veiw finder you will see your slider bar that will have + at one end and - at the other

in between are dots, sommat like this

+ . . | . . - each dot is one stop

to go two stops obviously go two dots

Am I missing out on something big by not having an auto exposure braketing feature if I by a remote could I control it using the the remote. Tutorial advised that its best automatic to reduce chance of the camera being moved.
 
You can still use the remote but you will have to touch the camera to adjust the exposures, I use a D40 and have never had a problem doing it manually, just be gentle when adjusting the exposures

I did it manually hundreds of times! Since having my D300 I've not used it once! (Albeit I've only owned it for about 48 hours! :lol:)

I'm sure I'll fine it useful but I was fine doing it manually! :D
 
Is there any difference between exposure compensation and just dropping the shutter speed -2 stops and then bumping it back up by +2 stops?

Thanks thats a great help.

:)
 
i found on my 400d the roller to change exposure it a little stiff wheel which can sometimes move my camera on the tripod just enough to ruin a photo.
 
Sorry to seem dumb but the tutorial I watched (came with a magazine) talked about putting the camera in Av mode (i beleive they were using a Cannon) but the Nikon D60 does not have this mode what is Av and does the D60 have an equivalent mode or setting
 
Hi AV is aperture value you selct how small or big you want the aperture and the camers sorts out the TV time value (shutter speed )

Fine by me the only reason I created two threads was because I was not quite sure where it should be under talk photography or equipment. Are you a administrator, I hope so because I dread to think someone who is not has access to my account :lol:

So is the Av the same as A on Nikon D60 it also has a auto mode so I know A is not Auto

Thanks

If it's a Nikon in nothing about them , hang on i have a canon i know nothing about them either :'(
 
In The Flipping Manual.
 
No one has answered my question about the differnce between AV mode and A mode. I know someone told me that AV stands for Apature Value and A stands for Apature priority but what is the difference because my Nikon only seems to have A

jAMES :help:
 
i very rarely used backeting however if i want specific parts correctly exposed i meter for them and then combine the shots later to get a good overal exposure.

i think its more useful for HDR type images.
 
isn't it just a case of differenct companies calling it by a different name.

Don't like your attitude, and no need to be so insulting, however if i had a manual i would certainly be reading it...

I thought the idea of this forum was to help others...
 
Jelphoto, on your Nikon A is Aperture Priority Mode. You select the aperture you want to use and your camera works out the appropriate shutter speed.
