General Chat / Re: What camera are you running ML on?

None. I removed the software.

Some photographers believe that getting the correct exposure (or as close as posiible) straight out of the camera is preferable to making the adjustment in software even RAW. I count myself as one of those photographers. That's why there are 1/3 increments and an EC facility in the first place.

I find it laughable that you would say I need practice and experience if I have to explain the above to you.

Since the folks I really wanted to hear from are not responding, I suppose I will bid farewell to my thread. I appreciate everyone's efforts at help even the guy trying to insult me.

Chimping is reviewing the image after the shot presumably to make sure the shot values did not result in clipping or other undesirable consequences.

This simple thing is actually hard to do, as 1/3-stops are approximated by either 3/8 or 2/8. On new cameras, if this approximation is not exactly as Canon's, the camera would reject these shutter speeds.

So, rather than introducing complications to implement something of very limited use IMO, I prefer to keep it simple and robust.

Also, am I required to answer every single feature request within 24 hours?!

Per my original post, I am offering to pay for the programming for a personal version - the going rate for such programming (subject to my ability to pay), not a $10 donation or some such small amount. That's got to be cheaper than buying a 5D3.  :)

If you shoot in RAW adjusting for exposure in post should be no problem for the difference between 1/2 and 1/3 stops.

'Thanks for the reply. I do shoot RAW. Of course, I'll have to see how this goes but the idea is to get as close to the correct exposure as possible without adjustments. Also saves time in the field avoiding the need to chimp.

No, there are no plans for adding 1/3 stop increments.

I'm curious as to why. If nothing else, you should seek the help of a professional tech writer to produce your help manuals possibly finding one who will donate his time. That simple specification could have saved you and I the time it took to write these exchanges.

You may want to request a refund of all the money you paid for accessing this support forum if you are not satisfied ;)

Below, you'll find the receipt to my donation. It wasn't much, but I had intended to donate regularly as features that helped me were added. If you want to refund it, be my guest.

If you want to get a refound PM bart or a1ex the details....

Wow, not one reply. I don't expect users to respond but the Developer or the Admin ignoring the question? You linked to this forum as Support and both the Admin and Developer has answered other questions since my post so I know you weren't away for the weekend.

Okay then, let me rephrase. Are there any plans to add 1/3 stop increments to the exposure bracketing feature soon?

All I seem to have access to are 1/2 stop increments. I do not use HDR but I do use bracketing for exposure insurance and 1/3 stops can make or break getting the perfect exposure - for me. If I have missed something, please let me know, otherwise...

My understanding of programming is nil and the following question may project my ignorance like a speeding bullet, but since this program is open source, I am wondering, assuming the answer to the above question is negative, if anyone has added 1/3 stops to their HDR bracketing facility? If so, can I purchase a version from you?
