Bracketing - Image Quality? Hi there, Can someone tell me if bracketing results in a deterioration of photo quality? I have noticed a big difference in the quality of the photos taken with and without and wondered if it was just me who had noticed this. I am using a Canon Rebel DSLR. Thanks for your help.

The point in bracketing is to take a series of shots (usually 3) at different exposure (or white balance) settings, such that 1 has the correct or best exposure. By definition, the other shots in the series will suffer in comparison. If you are using a flash, then you need to wait for the flash to recycle between each bracketed shot. Otherwise, only one will get a full-power flash and the others in the sequence will get underpowered or no flash.

Thank you for your response. On the Canon DSLR, the camera is able to bracket automatically, which is what I had it set at. So with one picture, three are created at whatever parameters are set. However, it seems as if the quality of the photos suffer using this feature. Or maybe it is just me...

"So with one picture, three are created..." - this is the White Balance Auto Bracketing feature. One of those files should be no different than what the camera would record if the WB Bracketing were turned off. The other 2 images have different white balance. All other settings (JPEG resoultion, parameters for Contrast, Sharpness, etc.) are the same for the three images.

In what way are the pictures inferior when using "bracketing"? As a pure guess it just may be that you are "moving" once you hear the "first" shutter click (and not waiting for the extra 2 clicks to happen). It's a guess only. More info is needed to answer it.
