Hi @marcoshuayai3995, with 'Details' Rob Moroto is referring to shots that show details of the property's rooms complementing the wide-angle shots of a room. Like from 6:08 where he illustrates the 6 shots for the kitchen and then adds 2 or 3 detailed shots of the fridge's side at 7:30.

@cindymedick25 күн бұрын
Just figured it out! I needed to hold the button down until it's done. See, I told you user error!
@PhotomatixHDR25 күн бұрын
Hello @cindymedick, A possible cause might be the auto focus setting. Try to focus manually (MF) or set the auto focus to Single-shot AF (AF-S). Another reason could be that the camera would exceed the maximal possible shutter speed when taking the third shot. Hence it doesn't release the third exposure.
Hello @mrmarylandrealestate, On Sony cameras, the setting is called Self-timer during Bracketing. You'll find it in the main menu: - Navigate to MENU → (Shooting) → [Drive Mode] → [Bracket Settings] → [Self-timer during Bracketing]. It is the same page where you set the bracketing order and other settings related to bracketing.

Hello @mimib1450, AEB is not available in flash photography or bulb exposures, or with Multi-Shot Noise Reduction, HDR mode, focus bracketing, or when the electronic shutter is set. Try checking if one of these settings is enabled, or activated.
@diego_villenaАй бұрын
It’s not working, it’s just shooting continuous photos when I hold the shutter button and not bracketing
@PhotomatixHDRАй бұрын
Hello @diego_villen, Did you press the Set button to save the AEB setting after setting AEB at 1:08? Please note, that the AEB setting is reset when powering off the camera, while Continuous shooting remains as set. However, the AEB setting can be saved to one of the three Custom registers C1, C2, and C3.

Unfortunately, the settings that I have already made in my new EOS R5 as instructed by previous other videos must have made a difference in the Quick Control screen that appears in the video above at 2:03. 1) In the top row I have no "OFF" text on the waving hand 2) No circle appears in the middle of my screen 3) On the bottom left, a framed image of camera and hand with extended finger appears, when touched it shows the text "Touch Shutter: Disable / Enable" 4) On the bottom line, the symbols for shutter speed, F-stop setting, and ISO setting appear framed (but not the exposure bracketing symbol). Pressing the INFO button three times will not lead me to the image of Quick Control screen seen at 2:12, but loads of symbols on both sides of the screen, plus various column and bar symbols. - Please advise me how to correct my false settings to be able to arrive at the screen image as at 2:12 in your video.
@PhotomatixHDRАй бұрын
Hello @hannumononen6345, Sorry to hear that. Instead of strictly following the video in that case, focus on the relevant settings: 1. Manual Mode (M), 2. Number of bracketed shots, 3. Setting the EV spacing, and 4. Continuous Shooting Pressing the Info button should cycle through all available views. One of them is the screen at 2:02. However, ignore the circle (my individual setup) and the steady shot indicator. Not all indicators shown on the screen before entering the Quick Control screen are relevant for setting up exposure bracketing. If you see a different Quick Control screen or can't find it either, try setting EV spacing in the main menu: - Press the Menu button - Navigate to the red camera tab > page 2 > Exposure Comp./AEB - Dial 6 times to the right until the 3 markers show a 2 EV spacing (supposed you set 3 for the Number of bracketed shots) - Press the Set button to save, and the Menu button to exit
@frankbeltranАй бұрын
So can you take 5 bracketed photos with this method?
@PhotomatixHDRАй бұрын
Hello Frank, Yes. the camera is capable of taking up to 7 bracketed shots, so you can shoot 5 if you like. To set it up, enter the menu and navigate to the 5th tab Custom Functions, first page C.Fn1 Exposure. There you'll find 'Number of bracketed shots'. After that, you'll see 5 markers indicating the 5 photos, when setting AEB like in the video at 2:12.

@PhotomatixHDR2 ай бұрын
If some or all of the images look the same it can have one or several of the following reasons: - The camera can't increase/decrease the shutter speed automatically, because it reached the upper or lower shutter speed limits - Exposure compensation (the top right dial) has been set inadvertently and prevents bracketing from working as expected - The mode dial is set to a setting other than M or A, or the camera is in S&Q or movie mode, not in photo mode - As Ryan mentioned, in certain outdoor scenarios it is hard to tell the difference between exposures when a 1 EV spacing was chosen - The bracketing settings did reset due to a restart of the camera

The camera takes 3 consecutive photos. Therefore, moving subjects and objects will be in different positions from photo to photo. However, if moving subjects are incidental and less prominent the ghosting that occurs after merging the three photos, can be removed using Photomatix' ghost removal feature.

In manual mode, the shutter speed will be varied. If the ISO or aperture changed there would be a visual difference between the photos, like sensor noise (ISO) or depth of field (f-stop).
If the number of shots is set to 5, and the exposure range is +/- 2EV, does that mean each shot will be 2 EV from the previous one? Or does it mean the total range of the 5 shots will be +/- 2EV?
Your former assumption is right. Each exposure will be 2 EVs apart from the previous, spanning the whole range of 5 photos across 8 EVs.
The best tutorial about HDR.
Does it work on moving subjects? I mean if it is taking 3 photos at the same time, or it is taking three consecutive photos?
The camera takes 3 consecutive photos. Therefore, moving subjects and objects will be in different positions from photo to photo. However, if moving subjects are incidental and less prominent the ghosting that occurs after merging the three photos, can be removed using Photomatix' ghost removal feature.
Thanks, this was a good tutorial. It works similar on the xt20, except the number of frames is present to 3.
This is very explanatory. Congratulations to all who had a hand in creating this video.
