Quoting Stan Halpin <[email protected]>:
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'm not sure about that. I tried it with a 3-frame bracket with the
K-5 while looking through the viewfinder - the finder view blacked out
as the mirror locked up but then appeared after the first exposure,
blacked out again, re-appeared after the second exposure, blacked out
again and reappeared after the third exposure. This must mean that
the mirror is moving between exposures.
The problem is that the 3 sec delay only occurs at the start of the
sequence and not between exposures.
One method that does seem to work is to:
* In the mode menu set Self Timer - 2 sec delay
* Then select Exp Bracketing/self timer.
In this case you get a 2 sec delay between exposures, which might not
be the ideal length of time for mirror lock up but it's better than
none. Of course, you can't use an IR remote with this method but a
wired remote works.
