HDR bracketing - 2 second timer issue

[wreck_photography]

Hello,

I am trying to take HDR bracketed exposures with a canon 550D with version V2.3.

All works perfect when the 2 sec counter is enabled (in the ML settings or the canon settings).

When I turn off the 2 secound timer to shoot straight from pressing the trigger the first two images have the same exposure and the last image changes. This happens no matter how many exposures I take... the first 2 always have the same exposure values.

I am shooting in manual with the ISO at a constant 100. I have tried re-installing and still having the same issues!

Anyone run into this problem?

Thanks

Try changing drive mode to Single.

Amazing!!!!!!! Thank you so much! This has been killing me for the past few hours! Such a simple answer.

Cant wait to try out so extreme bracket HDR-ing.

You are a star! Thanks so much! Have a great weekend!
