Just in case you were not aware the remedy to change the bracketing to
Av lies in the "green button" setting of the E-dial programming
whether you have the "green button" active or not. To change it go to
the E-Dial Programming menu for manual and select "TvShift". I found
the solution on-line, the manual was next to useless.
I've read this twice and I can't figure out what you're talking about.
Mind expanding/explaining?
Allow me.
I played around with my K5 after reading Rob's post and I think I
understand what he's getting at.
If you have the camera on Manual Exposure and fire off a bracket of
(say) three images, the camera will hold the shutter speed constant
and change the aperture for each exposure.
What Rob wanted was to hold the aperture constant and allow the
shutter speed to change with each exposure.
As he said, you can accomplish this by going to Rec Mode Settings
menu 5, selecting 'E-Dial Programming Menu 2' and changing the Green
Button setting for 'M' to Tv Shift. Page 284 of the manual shows
the available settings, but their use is far from intuitive.
Interesting. The manual AFAICT (K-5 II) doesn't even explain what
changes during a bracket exposure. I pretty much only used TAv mode
during my cruise rental, which does change the shutter speed (although I
vaguely recall seeing some shots where the aperture and/or ISO changed,
and I have no idea what caused the difference).
Pentax significantly reorganized the K-5 II manual, it's page 247 there.
