AutoexPoSure BrACketing (AeB)
To be absolutely certain you have the best exposure, autoexposure bracket-
ing (AEB) takes a series of photos—each at a slightly different exposure. This
process is basically an automated form of exposure compensation. Some
cameras let you specify both the number of exposures, usually 3 or 5, and the
change in exposure between each shot. Some cameras take all of the pictures
with a single press of the shutter button. With others you have to press the
shutter button once for each picture. Some cameras use this same approach
to bracket white balance and even focus.
Bracketing gives you
a series of images at
different exposures.

each. Here the scale
