Bracketing
Auto bracketing can be used to vary exposure-compensation or white-balance setting automatically throughout a series of pictures.

This is convenient when it is difficult to select appropriate exposure-compensation or white-balance settings.

Camera takes three shots each time shutter-release button is fully pressed, bracketing current white balance setting to produce one picture with normal white balance, one picture with bluish cast, and one picture with reddish cast.
