EOS T6 Trouble with bracketing

[K-Emery]

Hey! I have an EOS Rebel T6 and I'm trying to use exposure bracketing. I've looked through multiple manuals, have watched many instructional videos and asked people who have had more experience with cameras how to and everything I have tried, failed. I always end up with one very underexposed or overexposed, blurry picture and I followed every direction I was given. I would like to know if there's something I'm missing or if my camera could potentially have something wrong with it.

If you are getting into photo editing you are putting severe limitations on how much you can edit if you don't shoot raw.  The camera deletes any data it sees as not important in jpg. Plus edits can be destructive in jpg, they are not in raw.

Perhaps a definition of "bracketing" is necessary so we all know what we are talking about.

Bracketing is when you take usually an odd number of photos one under exposed by a stop, one correct exposure and one over exposed by a stop. Now for sure there are many other variables you can use in bracketing but this is a common way. After you merge all three into one final image. Supposedly it gives the best of everything exposure wise. But you still must use careful adjustment using the various sliders in the editor or you get a comic book picture look.

Here is an example where HDR made a photo possible. The DR in this photo far exceeded the cameras ability but with three exposures it is easy.
