I have a Canon 6d. I cant figure how to set custom 1 or 2 with hdr. Everytime i select hdr and go to register either position. The custom setting gets greyed out. Is this how it is?

This is what I did, first dialed to C1 and then go to menu and then select multiple exposure to enable. I was able to do it. Is this what you are referring?

Nope! I don't want multiple exposure. I want it to register the HDR in C1/2. But the minute i enable HDR. The register option greys out.

Amazingly enough. 5DIII lets you do RAW + JPG, makes the HDR from the JPG's and gives you the RAWs to play with, I believe...

I can confirm that the 5D III does exactly that, I seldom better the camera's rendition of HDR by manually processing the RAW files though. It seems to do a good job.

Built in HDR does a good enough job for me. I'm cool with the results. Even if it is just Jpeg. Shot these handheld no tripod or image stabilization.

6D HDR function is limited to JPEG. So people still buy the 5DMKIII. Maybe magic lantern will unlock it.

Agreed - I did just that this last weekend. RAW + JPEG and HDR. Results were pretty good. Nice to have this option to show people a pretty good (but not quite final) HDR JPEG image that doesn't need to be edited first if they can't view RAW files.

6d does not save raw when HDR is on. Only jpeg

Yes, we are clear on that. Shooter was referring to his 5D3...

Correct Bear. Sorry I thought my post was more obvious.
I know Canon need to keep certain features for higher end models to justify cost etc but this quirk is a bit of a weird one for me. I would guess most owners of prosumer and higher models will want and edit RAWs so why disable it for this HDR feature?

One technical consideration that might impact the decision is the processing power available. They may well have felt that the delay would be too great, or there may have been hardware limitations that would have mad combining in-camera RAWs impossible in the 6D.
I don't know if we can say with any certainty that RAW HDR is possible with the 6D, but was left out due to marketing. Nor can we say that is not the case. Now, let Magic Lantern loose on it, and see what they can do ;-)
