The different exposures are set using the camera's exposure compensation control if the one of
the auto exposure modes is selected. If manual exposure mode is selected the exposure will be
varied using either the shutter speed or the aperture according to the settings in this dialog.
Please note that PowerShot cameras have a limited range of apertures and so it may not be
possible to take the complete sequence by varying the aperture.
PSRemote can optionally run a command at the end of the auto bracket sequence to combine
the shots. To do this click on the "Execute command at end of auto bracket sequence"
checkbox and enter the name of the program or script to run. In the screenshot above the
script "photomatix.bat" has been entered. This will run the Windows batch file
"photomatix.bat" which combines the images using Photomatix Pro (which can be purchased
from http://www.hdrsoft.com) and displays the result in BreezeBrowser Pro (
http://www.breezesys.com/BreezeBrowser ). The batch file can be found in the PSRemote
installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\BreezeSys\PSRemote) and makes use of the
command line interface for Photomatix Pro. Please see the batch file for details.
Suggested procedure for auto bracketing:
1.
Use a tripod and compose the shot as required
2.
Switch to manual exposure mode and low ISO setting to maximize the quality
3.
Set the required aperture (e.g. use a small aperture like f/16 for good depth of field)
4.
Take a preview shot to determine the correct exposure (this can be judged by looking at
the histogram display). It may be necessary to take a number of test shots to get the
correct exposure. Adjust the exposure by changing the shutter speed
5.
Use AF lock to set the focus so that it doesn't change between shots
6.
Set the required number of shots and number of stops separating each shot (a 5 shot
sequence with 1 stop increments is a good start, more shots may be required if the
brightness range in the shot is very large)
7.
Press the "Release" button and PSRemote will automatically take the sequence
Zooming the Lens
Use the slider control beneath the release and preview buttons to zoom the camera's lens. The
zoom range and current focal length of the lens is displayed above the zoom control. Some
cameras allow the use of digital zoom and this is displayed in red when it is used.
