With Extended bracketing the camera record 3 jpgs with differend settings for saturation, sharpness, contrast or white balance. With RAW file those values aren't lock in the file like with Jpg so you can change them without hurting the image quality.

For HDR photos you need to make multiple shots, with that you don't use Extended bracketing but Exposure bracketing so the button on the left side of your view finder.

With out turning on the Extended Bracket the upper left side button does not work, as show on page 129 of the manual. With out putting the camera in P mode you can not turn this on.
Quoted from Page 129
Shooting in Exposure Bracket Mode
"You can take continuous pictures with different exposure when the shutter
release button is pressed. The first frame is exposed with no
compensation, the second frame is underexposed (negative
compensation) and the third is overexposed (positive compensation)
(when the number of frames is set to [3])."
Normal exposure Underexposure Overexposure
If this is not the way to do this how would you then take 3 or 5 photos Normal exposure Underexposure Overexposure ???
Later

I'm guessing you might have the mode dial set to the "green" mode? In this mode some of the more manual features of the camera are not available to you. Switch to one of the other modes such as "P" and you should find it is selectable.
I just switched from Green Mode to P and now I can set Extended Bracket.I'm guessing you might have the mode dial set to the "green" mode? In this mode some of the more manual features of the camera are not available to you. Switch to one of the other modes such as "P" and you should find it is selectable.

Guys he means the Extended Bracket not the Exposure Bracketing
The Extended Bracket only works with JPG and not with RAW, that is the problem I believe.
If you shoot in RAW, Extended Bracket is useless since the saturation, sharpness, contrast and white balance can be adjusted on the computer without any quality lost.
When I press the Menu button you can see right away that the Extended Bracket and Muili-exposure are both grayed out. I can go from RAW file format to Interval Shooting never being able to stop at Extended Bracket and Muili-exposure.Guys he means the Extended Bracket not the Exposure Bracketing
