I'm a little in the dark about where to begin a ML auto-bracketing sequence in terms of the ideal camera settings and meter reading.
My goal is to shoot real estate interiors where you may have a few incandescent bulbs on, as well as some outdoor views through open windows.
What is the preferred metering mode?
I typically use 1.5 or 2.0 EV stops seperation, and fixed 100 ISO and 8-11 aperture on tripod but open to suggestions. I have ML set to auto-detect to determine number of exposures.
Manual Mode or Aperture Priority?
Should you modify exposure compensation (up or down) any FIRST, before beginning the bracketing sequence?
i.e. Is there a technique to insure the bulbs and brighter points outdoors are not blown out? I get the ML software takes a picture and looks at it to determine the bracketing needs but when beginning from a "correct exposure" setting, I still get blown hilites in a few areas I really don't want blown out.
Also, is it my imagination or does the bracketing sequence option selected (0,+,++ etc) affect how many exposures will be taken?
Thanks
