Custom Bracket Error
Posted: 29 Jan 2017, 00:15
I took out my new set up (TPLink 3040 and iPad Mini with qDSLRDashboard) for RE photography out today and noticed something odd. Shooting with a Nikon D600 and Tokina 16-28, I had a custom bracket option with a 2 1.67 stop difference for 2 over and 2 under plus the regular exposure. I had it set to take the even exposure first then under and then over. What was happening was odd. It would take the first properly exposed image, shoot the 2 underexposed correctly and then revert to the properly exposed image and then shoot the 3.33 overexposed shot. Missing the +1.67 shot.
I didn't see this in testing, but then again I did 1stop brackets.
Luckily I caught it early on and just went back to my normal set up of in camera, not quite the same and easy, but it did the job.
It almost seems like there is a bug or something, unless I did something wrong.
Did I do something wrong with my settings? Should I have gone 0, -4,-2,+2,+4 instead of 0,-3.33, -1.67, +1.67, +3.33? Is it just the camera?
I'll do some testing again to see if it was something, but wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.
