Not even simple bracketing. Automatic bracketing. Five pics in two 
secs. You only have to select how large you want the brackets to be; 
half stop, full stop, up or down or both ways or whatever. That's 
what my photographer friend used to do, but then he did not belong to 
Magnum or work for NG, so I don't really know the answer to your 
question.
