jaapv Posted July 9, 2009 Share #41 Posted July 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jaap, I think where the feature might be most useful is in HDR hand held shots when the tripod was left at home. Set auto-bracket and aperture, lean up against something rigid, compose scene, hold breath, depress shutter, click-click-click..... If you use Photomatix Pro and set the correct parameters in the software, it does a very nice job of lining up the images and processing even when not shot from a tripod. Ok, I see that it might be practical that way. But if truth be told, I can do that consistently using manual as well, especially if I use the aperture ring.

Advertisement Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Auto Exposure Bracketing. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
noah_addis Posted July 9, 2009 Share #42 Posted July 9, 2009 I see no need for it, but then again I always shoot on Manual anyway. I wouldn't object I suppose as long as it's hidden in the menu system, I don't want more buttons or dials on the camera and I don't want some extra 'feature' that I might turn on by accident. Keep it simple. If you want automation lots of cameras offer that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaap, Since you are converging the images (so to speak), for HDR you want to keep the aperture fixed to maintain a consistent DOF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iansky Posted July 9, 2009 Share #44 Posted July 9, 2009 I vote for AEB - there are occasions when time is of the essence and having that facility would enhance the prospect of obtaining the "spot on" exposure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think a difffereence of one stop of DOF would be visible when doing HDR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted July 9, 2009 Share #46 Posted July 9, 2009 I do not think a difffereence of one stop of DOF would be visible when doing HDR It seems you simply want to hold your ground, so be it. But you typically want to be several stops out when combining numerous images in HDR where there will be a tremendous difference. I'm sure your next post will be that you have no interest in HDR and thus this whole discussion moot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 9, 2009 Share #47 Posted July 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have quite an interest in HDR and tend to use my DMR for it -which has exposure bracketing. But as you say, there are times that one wishes for more than + or - one stop. I fear that auto exposure bracketing usually does not cater for that. So it is back to ye olde tripod.....

antonv Posted July 12, 2009 Share #49 Posted July 12, 2009 I have quite an interest in HDR and tend to use my DMR for it -which has exposure bracketing. .. But I only have a M8 and a Nikon FM3 and I do not intend to buy another camera. A firmware update with AEM would increase the versatility of the M8 I really hope that Leica takes note.
