Hello @Pulamathi, Thank you for your interest, and the compliments. Parts of the video are shot in 4k video (Panasonic S1H), and the rear side and close-ups are photos taken using the same camera with bracketing. The menu was captured from the HDMI outlet. All sources were put together in Premiere and animated in After Effects. However, the crispness is not achieved by a high resolution alone. Good lighting helps a lot, even though it is quite flat.

Hello @bnkakl, According to the user manual, it does not work: "AEB is not available in flash photography or bulb exposures, or with Multi ShotNoise Reduction, HDR mode, focus bracketing, or when electronic shutter is set."

Hello @migranthawker2952, Aperture priority works as well. It is my personal preference to work in manual mode.

Hello @ashkarali2239, For merging and processing the images in Photomatix see the quick intro video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJvCqaaDaL-MaMU

Hello Gergely, In the batch window right above the light green Run button, you'll find a button Naming & Resizing Options... Click it and another window appears. In the upper box, you can set up many naming options you usually need.

Hi @marcoshuayai3995, with 'Details' Rob Moroto is referring to shots that show details of the property's rooms complementing the wide-angle shots of a room. Like from 6:08 where he illustrates the 6 shots for the kitchen and then adds 2 or 3 detailed shots of the fridge's side at 7:30.

@@PhotomatixHDR oh ok!!thank you.

Just figured it out! I needed to hold the button down until it's done. See, I told you user error!

Hello @cindymedick, A possible cause might be the auto focus setting. Try to focus manually (MF) or set the auto focus to Single-shot AF (AF-S). Another reason could be that the camera would exceed the maximal possible shutter speed when taking the third shot. Hence it doesn't release the third exposure.

Hello @mrmarylandrealestate, On Sony cameras, the setting is called Self-timer during Bracketing. You'll find it in the main menu: - Navigate to MENU → (Shooting) → [Drive Mode] → [Bracket Settings] → [Self-timer during Bracketing]. It is the same page where you set the bracketing order and other settings related to bracketing.

Hello @mimib1450, AEB is not available in flash photography or bulb exposures, or with Multi-Shot Noise Reduction, HDR mode, focus bracketing, or when the electronic shutter is set. Try checking if one of these settings is enabled, or activated.

Hello @diego_villen, Did you press the Set button to save the AEB setting after setting AEB at 1:08? Please note, that the AEB setting is reset when powering off the camera, while Continuous shooting remains as set. However, the AEB setting can be saved to one of the three Custom registers C1, C2, and C3.

Hello @hannumononen6345, Sorry to hear that. Instead of strictly following the video in that case, focus on the relevant settings: 1. Manual Mode (M), 2. Number of bracketed shots, 3. Setting the EV spacing, and 4. Continuous Shooting Pressing the Info button should cycle through all available views. One of them is the screen at 2:02. However, ignore the circle (my individual setup) and the steady shot indicator. Not all indicators shown on the screen before entering the Quick Control screen are relevant for setting up exposure bracketing. If you see a different Quick Control screen or can't find it either, try setting EV spacing in the main menu: - Press the Menu button - Navigate to the red camera tab > page 2 > Exposure Comp./AEB - Dial 6 times to the right until the 3 markers show a 2 EV spacing (supposed you set 3 for the Number of bracketed shots) - Press the Set button to save, and the Menu button to exit

Hello Frank, Yes. the camera is capable of taking up to 7 bracketed shots, so you can shoot 5 if you like. To set it up, enter the menu and navigate to the 5th tab Custom Functions, first page C.Fn1 Exposure. There you'll find 'Number of bracketed shots'. After that, you'll see 5 markers indicating the 5 photos, when setting AEB like in the video at 2:12.

@@PhotomatixHDR Thank's a lot!

Yes. This setting works with any lens. Automatic exposure bracketing is independent of the used lens because it varies the shutter speed, not the aperture.

@@PhotomatixHDRthanks ❤

You might check your ISO setting. If ISO is set to Auto, the camera varies ISO values, not the shutter speed. Set it to a low value of 100 to 800.

Hello Peter, I have no access to the Nikon Z7 or the Z7ii, anymore. However, from my tests back then I know, you can select “Self-timer” instead of “Continuous H” (see 3:18). Then a single shutter press fires all 3 images after 2 or 10 sec. delay. Set the delay by Menu > Custom Settings Menu (pen icon)> Timers (c) > Self-Timer (c2) > Self-timer delay

Hello Travis, The information given in this video is still relevant for the latest Lightroom version. However, the plugin has now been updated to version 2.0. You can watch the newer video about the HDR Batch Plugin 2.0 for Lightroom here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGrPg3erdt58idU Download the plugin under www.hdrsoft.com/download/hdr-batch-lightroom-plugin.html

Bonjour Michelle, Nous avons une version française. Vous pouvez la télécharger ici : www.hdrsoft.com/fr/download.html

Yes, exposure bracketing can be very helpful for macro photography to increase dynamic range. Furthermore, you might be interested in using focus bracketing (focus stacking in post-production of the photos) to achieve a higher depth of field.

Is it very bright at ev0? Outdoor shooting for me doesn't look different if only 2 stops apart.

If some or all of the images look the same it can have one or several of the following reasons: - The camera can't increase/decrease the shutter speed automatically, because it reached the upper or lower shutter speed limits - Exposure compensation (the top right dial) has been set inadvertently and prevents bracketing from working as expected - The mode dial is set to a setting other than M or A, or the camera is in S&Q or movie mode, not in photo mode - As Ryan mentioned, in certain outdoor scenarios it is hard to tell the difference between exposures when a 1 EV spacing was chosen - The bracketing settings did reset due to a restart of the camera

Bitte!

Hi @Whizshot, I don't think so. However, you could try BRK S instead of BRK C combined with a self-timer. This is the closest you can get to the behaviour you envision. You can activate the self-timer by... Menu button > Tab 1 (camera) > Page 3/14 > Bracketing Settings > Selftimer during Bracket > Choose a 2, 5, or 10-second delay or Off to deactivate. When using the self-timer with this bracketing setting make sure to focus manually.

Hi camadamedia, When the aperture changes during bracketing the camera might be set to shutter priority Av or P. Please double-check and make sure the mode is set to M (or at least Av). See 0:35 for that.

@@PhotomatixHDR thank you for your soon answer! I have in M Manual , but it changes diaphragm!

@@camadamedia6728 The only cause I can think of now is a RAW setting like Dual Pixel RAW, or the camera is in a certain mode that prevents the shutter speed from working as expected. Just so you know, I have no access to the camera anymore.

Hi markpalmos. The current version of Photomatix Pro is fully compatible with Windows 11, so it's odd it doesn't run on your computer. What exactly happens when you try to run/open the software? Are you seeing any error message?

@@PhotomatixHDR Hi, nothing at all happened, I tried re-installing and again, nothing... anyhow, I've now bought SNS-HDR Pro which is amazing... thanks anyway.

Hello Munro, Thanks. This is well possible. If I recall correctly this happens when the Q button is pressed when the display mode is different from the one I used in the video (e.g. in Live view it shows a different screen). When shooting the video the camera was set to factory defaults. If the Q screen does not show up as at 2:09, you might set AEB in the main menu: Menu button > First red tab (Camera), page 3. Furthermore, make sure the camera is set to M or AV, and it is not in 'movie' mode. BTW, the Citizen Kane shot worked out quite well!

How do you use self time for bracketing?

@frontyparker5912 Usually, this should work. If previous images are saved simultaneously when the next timeout strikes, the camera takes fewer pictures. Or the camera's Auto Focus setting is set to On, and the camera doesn't find focus after the first shot. Try MF and focus in advance or use AF single.

I figured it out. You go into the Custom Settings menu area and "Disable" Auto in Exposure Bracketing area. It was set to "Enable."

Hi Mike, Excellent that you found one way to keep the bracketing settings until the next restart of the camera! My suggestion would be to save all settings (auto exposure bracketing included) into one of the custom settings C1 to C3. This way you could even have 3 different bracketing settings handy.

Thank you! I will take a look.

In manual mode, the shutter speed will be varied. If the ISO or aperture changed there would be a visual difference between the photos, like sensor noise (ISO) or depth of field (f-stop).

Your former assumption is right. Each exposure will be 2 EVs apart from the previous, spanning the whole range of 5 photos across 8 EVs.
