Bracketing with a Nikon L105

check to make sure auto bracketing is not turned on. Otherwise send it to Nikon as it is under warranty (assuming you didn't drop it etc)

Sounds like you have it set on Bracketing. Go into your menu setting and turn off Bracketing.

Or you might be on NEF and JPG mode, taking a NEF and a JPG with each shot. Review the read-out on the top of the camera to see if it shows that. It it does go to QUAL on top of camera and change the setting to show one image, either NEF (RAW) or JPG.

One of those should fix ya.

There are 2 things why it may be acting so.

First: Mayby youhave changed the shooting settings to Aparture Priority.

Second: Mayby you have bracketing on.

Check those 2 things and then get back to me.

Page 140 of your manual "Bracketing Programs" . This camera seems only to be able to do a 3 frame bracket. Normal , Over , and Under exposure. Set the auto bracket to (3) frames, set a 2.0 bracketing increment the order is not really that important. Normal however should be your first frame shot. Make sure that only the speed changes in the different exposures not the aperture this would lead to de-focused images. One you have the three images you will have to bring them into ©Photoshop or ©Photomatrix Pro to create your HDR file. The camera will not create this HDR on its own. there are plenty of HDR tutorials on YouTube. Use a tripod ond a cable relaes when you are shooting in order to reduce movement in you images.

That is most likely the TTL preflash and should not show up in your final exposure.

Try setting the flash control to manual (e2 under the Bracketing/Flash menu). That should give you only the one flash at the end.

Did you take the pictures in automatic mode or are you taking them in Program or Manual mode? Try switching modes. it sounds like you are looking to get different exposures for a given scene, so I'm guessing you are looking to take better photographs. Let me know about your other shooting variables that are set on the camera and I'll let you know.

go to the custom settings menu, then section "e"..number 5, auto bracketing set, choose AE only.

Then go to F4...assign func button, for func buttons + dials...choose Auto bracketing.

Then when actual shooting, press and hold the func button and rotate the main dial to choose number of frames...func button and sub dials to choose the difference in exposure.

Hey arnelsartwor,
To set both exposure and flash bracketing you need to press the drive mode button, and then use the up/down arrows to select bracketing and then use the right/left arrows to highlight the drive mode option and then press the center button to select the desired drive mode. These instructions are on page 50 of your user manual. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Allan

There are four sequential modes: Sequential shooting, High-speed Sequential shooting, AF Sequential shooting and Auto Bracketing. Sequential shooting modes can be selected from the CAMERA menu: Sequential shooting: A maximum of 11 frames can be shot sequentially at approximately 1.7 fps in HQ mode. Focus, Brightness (exposure) and White Balance are locked at the first frame. High-speed Sequential shooting: A maximum of 4 frames can be shot sequentially at approximately 3.3 fps. Focus, Brightness (exposure) and White Balance are locked at the first frame. AF Sequential shooting: Focus is individually locked for each frame. The AF Sequential shooting speed is slower than for normal sequential shooting. Auto Bracketing: When Auto bracketing is set, exposure is changed automatically for each frame when you start shooting. The exposure differential can be selected in the menus. Focus and white balance are locked at the first frame.
