Hi,
I have a powershot a710IS. Recently I've been experimenting with HDR. I downloaded the latest autobuild for my camera. (a710-100a-0.9.7-725-full.zip) I noticed there's already a bracketing feature.
Testing it in my camera. Set my cam to Av.
In CHDK > Bracketing in continuous mode.
AV bracketing = 2EV
Bracketing type = +/-
In continuous mode. It just takes a shot of the 0. After that its -2 and the succeeding shuts look exactly the same as the 2nd shot.
I tried with custom counter.
1 second delay, 5 shots
Same results. I get one "0" shot. Then followed by a -2 shot, then the remaining shots look exactly the same as the 2nd shot. It's like stuck at -2 and not going back up to +2.
I then proceeded to test it with bracketing at 1EV, bracketing type +/-
In continuous mode. I get the -1, 0, +1 shots (3 images), pressing more and the succeeding images look exactly the same as the 3rd image.
In custom timer. 1sec delay, 3 shots. I get the same results as in continuous mode and going beyond 3 shots will result in the same image as the 3rd shot.
Does this mean I can't use 2EV or higher? I can set them up to 4EV. But I get the same problem results as 2EV.
How do I increase the number of shots? Say I can only do 1EV with this camera, how do I tell it to take 5 shots in bracketing? My 1EV test limits me to 3 shots. Beyond that the 4th image and up looks exactly the same as the 3rd shot.
Thanks for CHDK. I already made some crazy shots with this camera.
