Hello, this is Stuart from the Photomatix team
and here I'm going to show you how to set up Automatic Exposure Bracketing on a Nikon Z7.
This will let you take 3 photographs, each at a different exposure, when you press the shutter button.
Switch the camera On ...
and with the Mode Dial, select 'A' for Aperture Priority.
On the rear right of the camera is the Multi Selector, which can be used like a cursor with 4 buttons ...
to navigate up ...
down ...
left ...
or right ...
and in the middle, you'll find the OK button, which allows you to save your menu selections.
Just below the Multi Selector, you'll find the Menu button.
Press it and the Menu appears on screen.
You'll arrive at the Playback Menu.
Press the left hand selector button once to highlight the current menu.
Pressing the lower selector button once, takes you to the Shooting Settings Menu.
In this menu we need 'Auto Bracketing'
and you'll find it on Page 4.
To get there, either navigate forward 4 pages by pressing the lower selector button
or take a shortcut by pressing the upper button 7 times ...
effectively going backwards through the menu.
To access the Auto Bracketing menu, press the OK button.
Press the lower selector button once and select the number of shots to make up your bracketed set.
We're going to select 3, so press the right hand selector button once.
Next we need to select the EV Spacing between each photograph.
On this camera, EV Spacing is referred to as 'Increment'.
So to select it, press the lower selector button once.
We want and a 2 EV Spacing, so we need to select 2 'increments'.
Press the right hand selector button once ...
and to save all these settings, press the OK button.
To return to the main screen, press the Menu button twice.
Once back at the main screen, on the right of the display, you'll find the Exposure Indicator.
Check that the center photograph is at 0.
But if it isn't, then you can relocate it by pressing and holding down the Exposure Compensation Button ...
whilst turning the Main Command Dial.
Lastly, in order to take all your photographs just by pressing the shutter button once,
on the rear of the camera you'll find the 'I' button.
The Info button.
Press it once.
Now press the right hand selector button 4 times,
until you arrive at the Release Mode section.
Press the OK button ...
and then by pressing the right-hand Selector Button twice, select Continuous Shooting ...
and save it using the OK button.
All you need to do now is to keep the camera still,
press and hold down the shutter button,
until all your photos are taken.
So that covers setting Automatic Exposure Bracketing on the Nikon Z7.
