thassodd
I just tried it on mine
I assume you have set AEB to give you different exposures?:shrug:

oh yes you said that
you holding the button down? (ok sorry)

[englandshottest2]

yea the AEB has the three exposure points set to the varied amounts (done so via scrolling with the large wheel and hitting the set button thereafter) on the AEB menu...:(

[mmcp42]

card full?

[englandshottest2]

lol no, 350 shots available :(

[englandshottest2]

am i supposed to hold the button down for it to snap three shots or does it do it automatically?

[mmcp42]

aha
you have to hold it down long enough for it to take 3 shots
3.5 fps so about 1 second

[englandshottest2]

aha indeedy :D, yea workin now, ta :P!

[mmcp42]

or take it off machine gun mode
and press the shutter 3 times!:nuts:
