Brian, your mention of LiveView sent me back on my hunt.
I am trying here for three outcomes. I want auto exposure bracketing, I want to
use my remote to avoid camera movement, and I want mirror-up to minimize any
mirror-slap issues. I may have found the right combination. Whether in LV or
not:
- in the Mode menu, first select Remote/3-sec-delay.
- then select Exp Bracketing/use-remote
- Menu C page #2 Option #9, choose 2=one-shot brcketing.
I think this combination works. I can't be sure, but from the sounds I am
hearing and those I don't hear, I think I've got it.
I think this combination also works when starting from LV but it sounded a bit
different. I think that the one-shot option may also be unnecessary but it
speeds up the start-to-end shot sequence by 12-15 seconds, leaving less time
for elements in the frame to move around.
