Since you mentioned Face Detection, you are photographing a human subject against strong backlight. Forget about bracketing. Use fill flash instead. Your leaf shutter will make this easy.

Check out this great article on Strobist:
Leaf Shutter + ND + Flash: A Fuji X100s Daylight Primer

"The first thing you have to realize with a leaf-shutter compact is that even the tiny little built-in flash actually becomes surprisingly useful. Is it powerful? Nope, not by a long shot. But cranking the shutter and shooting wide open gets you a lot of bang for your lumen buck. Also, being able to shoot flash wide open in daylight gives your photos a look that almost (ironically) evokes the soft backgrounds of a much bigger chip."
