Quoting Stan Halpin <[email protected]>:
Got it Larry. I blew right past that option, and went for the remote
trigger. But you are right, this should serve the purpose.
Yeah - that works.
Searching on line I found suggestions that MLU + auto bracketing is
available if you put the camera into Live View which, by definition,
puts the mirror up. However, testing this with my K-5 found that the
mirror still moved up and down between exposures. I assume it would
be the same for the K-5ii

When shooting raw (ie always) I Bracket when I'm worrying about
dynamic range. Particularly at night when there are lights that
could blow out.
One of the bracketing modes is with the 2 second lockup.
Up arrow for shutter modes
Go to bracket
Down arrow
Select bracket with a timer dial

I've found that when shooting RAW, bracketing is unnecessary. If
you''re careful about exposure and come close, you can easily nail it
in conversion.

Short story: I haven't been able to find a way to use Mirror Lockup
mode while also bracketing exposures. Am I missing something in one of
the functions or options?
Longer story: One of the things I learned during the workshop I
attended in August is that I didn't know as much as I thought about the
K-5. I knew of, e.g., exposure bracketing and had used that once or
twice but didn't really know how to use it until I practiced a bit.
Since then I have been slowly working my way back and forth in the
manual, trying to become more familiar with the various functions and
practicing to get more facile in using them. As I "previsualize" some
shots I would like to take at an upcoming Fall Colors workshop (same
venue, same instructors, different emphasis on the photo opportunities
available), one combination of functions I would like to be able to use
is bracketed exposure (for possible HDR processing). But I want to be
able to use mirror-lockup (with remote) for many/most shots (for
greater sharpness). And I haven't discovered any way to activate both
the bracket and ML modes simultaneously. So, am I missing something? Or
do I resign myself to manually adjusting the exposure to create the
bracketed sequence?
