Exposure bracketing on nikon d5100

How do I set up exposure bracketing on the nikon d5100?

I can set up the HDR shooting, where it combines in camera, but where do I set up true 3 shot bracket?

<p>Download the manual for the camera from the Nikon web site, they have a section on how to set up the bracketing option http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17325/~/user%27s-manual---d5100---guide-to-digital-photography</p>

<p>fyi, the "3-shot bracket" technique is more annoying, I've found, than just shooting manual and adjusting the f-stop or shutter speed. Because you don't know at a glance which of the three "exposures" you're doing.</p>

<p>ymmv, but I have found this to be the most useless feature on these cameras.</p>

<p>I know some people who love that feature and use it as a matter of course for any iffy situation. I guess it's all a matter of preference.</p>

I'm not sure how you use the 3 bracket exposure, but I have mine set to shoot the metered exposure, the underexposed shot and then the overexposed shot. Pretty simple as long as you are taking the three shots pretty quickly. I don't use it often for people shots, (except when I HAVE to get it right and don't have much time to set up the shot or have very difficult lighting). When it's a landscape I shoot continuous, (which stops after the three shot burst), and decipher everything in post.</p>
