Still, there's actually a response to a HB complaint from Apollo 11; IIRC, there's 'issues' with the photos of the plaque on the leg because one photo is too dark but the next one is well lit. The argument being 'how could Armstrong know to change the settings if they didn't develop the film until after they got back? How did he know it was too dark?', yet right at the beginning of the debrief we have Armstrong saying how if they thought the picture would be important, they took multiple with different settings.
As usual, it seems like all the answers are out there if people are willing to look.
Even a rank amateur photographer can tell you what "bracketing" means
https://digital-photography-school.com/bracketing-what-is-it-and-what-to-do-with-the-images/
"Bracketing is a camera technique where you capture several different exposures of the same scene. In other words, you capture a standard image, a darker/underexposed version and a brighter/overexposed version."
