7d autobracketing

[LCPete]

Can I use autobracketing on my 7D when I've got plus exposure compensation dialed in?
Can't look at manual am at work thinking about photography

 

[mortimerhill]

yes, you can

You can do it from the menu. When you select exp comp / AEB, the dial beside the shuuter release sets the AEB, and the dial on the rear of the camera, next to the screen sets the exposure compensation

It should do turn the front dial watch it move through the view finder or on the LCD

That's brilliant thanks very much
I do look at the histogram but sometimes there's no time to mess about getting the exposure right like with zoo animals
Am exposing to the right definitely helps with noise

 

[LCPete]

Plan is to set exp comp to plus one third and bracket
Will give me zero plus third and plus two thirds

Of course Exp comp doesn't, that's what manual is, full control. You adjust your compensation by watching the meter indication in the viewfinder.

Thats what I meant Ken

Of course adjusting or at least attempting to adjust either shutter or aperture with Auto ISO enabled is going to be a fruitless exercise if looking to get some form of exposure compensation as it will well... just compensate by auto adjusting.
