Exposure bracketing on Nikon D70?

[Messiah Khan]

Ok, maybe im being really dense here, but how do I get exposure bracketing working on a Nikon D70? Ive not got the manual for it, and I can't figure out how to get it working. I see its got the 'BKT' button on the back which is presumable what I want, but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

press the bkt button whislt rotating the front command dial to set the exposure difference between the 3 exposures and then keep the bkt button pressed whilst rotating the rear command dial to enable and disable the bracketing function whislt shooting.

Thanks, but thats what i'd tried. Its still only showing up with 1 image when I transfer them to the pc. Im shooting in jpg mode btw.

yes, you have to take 3 shots..literally hold your finger on the shutter for 3 shots and they will be at your selected exposures.

Ok, thanks. Is this with it in continous shot mode? I havent got the camera now until wednesday, so i'll hopefully be able to figure it out then. Thanks for the help btw.:)

I know how you feel - I set my camera to full auto once and still had to press the shutter button ;)

the bracketing on my d70 only works in M, A, S and P modes..in any of these modes the d70 will take continueous images until the camera buffer is full or the memory card is full, whichever happens sooner.
