A steady manual setup keeps exposure changes intentional and prevents focus or color shifts inside a bracket.
Stabilize the composition
- Level a tripod and tighten every control.
- Choose the composition before touching exposure settings.
- Use a release method that avoids moving the camera.
Lock repeatable settings
Select a fixed aperture, white balance, and focus point. Change shutter speed for the bracket while leaving the other settings fixed. Check the first sequence at useful magnification before continuing through the property.
