I just moved up from a Fuji S7000 to a Canon 350D. On the Fuji when I set it to AEB I got three distinct clicks as the images were taken. On the Canon I get only one. So ....
If I am shooting RAW am I wasting my time with AEB ? Since it seems to shoot only one shot and then do the exposure bit in camera ?
If I am shooting AEB with a view to HDR will this give me better results since the shots all seem to be taken with the same aperture setting and therefore the same depth of field ?
Thanks in advance - if these are dumb questions just flame me. |

It's not enough just to set it to AEB: you also have to use the menu to specify the amount of bracketing. If the pointer is left at 0 when you enable AEB, the camera will only take the one shot. And exposure bracketing is appropriate to RAW files also: you DO have somewhat more latitude in recovering from wrong exposure if you shoot in RAW, but optimum exposure is always best.

| Thanks Bear - I thought I had set the slider to one stop each way - but I will go and check again. I did get three sepaarte images which were differently exposed (actually six because I was shooting RAW +L for the minimalism challenge - but still only got one click I think. |

must have been three clicks if you held the shutter...

| When I was playing with this feature on my 400D I found that I had to press the shutter three times to get all three exposures. The first was normal and the next two were under and over. Maybe holding the button down will cause it to take all three. I am not sure. (currently at work) |

Set the camera mode in continuos, not only a frame. There is a button on the back, I think up the light button, in which you can choose single frame, continous or self-timer. Leave it in continous.

| Thanks to all who responded. I think I've cracked it now. It is indeed as suggested - In single frame mode you have to take the three bracketted shots eparately - in multiple shot mode it takes them automatically with three separate clicks. The reason why I didn't realise this at first is that I was on the beach, shooting RAW and L for the minimalism challenge, and taking the same shot, or very similar repaeatedly as the clouds moved. It was in AEB but single shot mode. So I did end up with the same shot over and over again but with difrferent exposures. I think i rememeber being surprised at how few shots I'd got but as it was bitingly cold I put it down to just having felt like more. Thanks again. |
