I read about that same feature for my camera. Is that a good route for shooting if I plan to use HDR?

Generally it's best to shoot Manual Exposure mode, find a neutral exposure, roll the wheel down 2 stops, click, roll back one, click, roll to neutral, click, roll up click, and roll up again and click. This will give you 2 stops under, neutral and 2 stops up.

Isn't there a mode to take 3 different exposures in a roll?

| ya i know you can get multiple exposures that way, but im just wondering bout the fact that it would bump the camera a little each time, it might be very little, but they might not line up perfectly then. Might still be ok though, i dunno. |

Yes. Just set the bracketed exposure to + or - whatever you want and release the shutter 3 times. What Brad is doing gets him 5 exposures.

You need Photoshop CS2 or CS3 beta or Photomatix (from here) (there is a trial version)
Then use one of those programs to combine your images..
If you still need help, I'm sure someone else can explain it further..
Right now I am off to celebrate my birthday!
EDIT: Actually, you could just use layers.. Selecting each of the objects from each of the photos you want and combine them.. but that would be a pain..

Unless you buy Photomatrix it will watermark anything you create with it. Then you have to go to PS and clone the crap out and that's a pain also.

I downloaded the trial for photomatrix and was wondering when you are doing a simple 3 exposure HDR (+- 2 F stops) are you generating the HDR image straight from the raw files with no post processing? Or are you editing the raw files using the same values then saving as a Tif then generating?
Also I heard that it was important to keep the same white balance across the exposures? If you bracket does it do that automatically or is that something you need to set? |

| Hmm i dont really know lol ive just been playing around with it so i couldn't really tell ya. I converted them from raw with rawshooter pro, while converting i fixed the white balance (were taken in tungsten by mistake), i just made sure i converted them all into the same WB settings. Any sharpness changes i made i did the exact same values for all the exposures. |

| Yea I guess you can set the white balance to the same on all of the images in RAW. I would assume that you would want to save them as 16-bit tiffs then generate the HDR image in Photomatrix? |
