@Sourav – there is firmware out there called Magic Lantern that will allow you to take more bracketed shots. You can check it out here, http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/Install#Updating_Magic_Lantern

Now if ML does not interest you then you can do what I used to do when I did not run ML. Take two sets of exposures with the fist set being all in the minus group then take your second set of three starting at even and working your way up the + side. I have done this plenty of times when there was a great need for a wide dynamic range. Just make sure to use a tripod so that you don’t move the camera and all is good.

How can I use the Canon T2i/550D to take more than 3 (e.g. 5 or 7) Bracketed shots? AEB takes only 3 automatically.

I just bought my first SLR Nikon d5100. Thank you for your post. Never had auto bracketing before. I will read your blog more often. Thanks.
Is it better to use RAW or fine JPEG?

Thanks,

When setting the AEB on a Canon Rebel XTi, can you set the camera to take more than 3 shots? Some of you say that you can not do HDR with 3 shots while others say this is the way to go. Any insight?

If you shoot in RAW, do you real need to AEB, can you adjust the exposure up and down 1 stop within RAW and save the results each time to have the same 3 shots that you would get from AEB or am I missing something?

What cameras support AEB in manual mode?

I read on some blogs some Nikons and Canon 5D support this. They give option of changing aperture or shutterspeed for the manual settings.

I have T2i and it does not seem to support AEB on manual.

Hi there. Great article. I am actually just learning today about Auto Exposure Bracketing and then using the pictures for HDR.
I own a Sony DSLR-A290 and have set my priority on aperture priority. I have selected my AEB and am ready to shoot. As I take my 3 pictures, I notice that they are all of the same exposure, as if nothing had happened. Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong??
I have checked my camera’s manual and don’t seem to find anything on AEB.

Thanks

How do you combine all three images using a photo editing program-or which program should you use-after you’ve taken them to get the best exposure in all areas? For example, I recently went to Jasper and used the AEB setting on my camera to take a picture of a mountain, one picture to get the right exposure in the sky, one for the mountain, and one for the dark trees in the foreground. Any suggestions?

So the camera adjusts shutter speed for exposure compensation in Aperture mode, it adjusts shutter speed in the Shutter priority mode. I’m curious what the camera would compensate for in the Manual mode. Would it be ISO?

Does anyone know how i can set up the Nikon D5000 to do a burst 3fps and still have the AEB w/ one push of a button?! Only idea i have is that set my camera on a tripod, delay 2 sec. w/ 3 shots.
@ariana: nikon D5000 does have it.
