  • Canon hides the AEB on their cameras, but once you find it the feature is pretty easy and fun to use. In this video I go over that feature on the camera as well as one photo bracket from the Nikon D750 that goes along with my general look at the free open source programs HDR Merge, RawTherapee, and Luminance HDR. A lot of bracketing depends on what software you are using and how well you use it. I don't do much bracketing, so my results are not great but the goal here is to show you a few options that are available.
    Consider the newer Canon EOS M50 Mark II:
    It has clean HDMI output and better face tracking autofocus compared to the original.

    Auto Exposure Bracketing steps on the M50:
    * Use the INFO button to cycle the screens so you have the black screen with information rather than a live preview. This is the screen where you can set up a bracket.
    * Press the SET button so that you can go into the blocks of information on the screen. Make sure the exposure compensation block is selected.
    * Press the SET button to go into the exposure compensation bracketing setting screen. From there you can adjust the gap between the three frames taken.
    * Turn on the 2-second (or custom for longer) shutter delay so that the camera has time between the press and the first photo to stop moving.
    * From the info screen you can adjust the active bracket's offset. This gives you the ability to take a very large bracket +-3 stops.

    Nicely made. Covers possible obstacles one might face. Never tried HDR Merge, but keeping it in RAW is a BIG plus. Once Luminescence gets a hold of it they would rather you keep it in TIFF, and they strip all your exif data.

    Josh, THANK YOU!!! I have had the M-50 for a year and a half and have been manually exposure bracketing because I couldn't figure the AEB out. I wish I had found your video earlier but just thankful I found it now! You did a great job explaining it. Have a great day!

    You can easily do this in LightRoom CC as well by selecting all the bracketed images and right click for HDR merge.

    Great video thanks, What did you use to convert CR3 to DNG? Thank you

    • @ScottJWaldron
      @ScottJWaldron  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use the free official Adobe DNG converter: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html
      I have mine set to generate DNGs that can work with my old copy of Photoshop CS5.

    Great video, thanks.
    Question, why wouldn't you just use Photoshop and use masking instead of merging all the files?

    • @ScottJWaldron
      @ScottJWaldron  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the comment. That's a good idea. I haven't attempted that before. Maybe I'll try it at some point. I don't normally do bracketing/HDR in general, so this is more of an exploration of what's out there than any type of tutorial for people. I do have an old copy of Photoshop CS5. I primarily use Acdsee Photo Studio Ultimate which would work as well.

    So hdrmerge is generally better than luminance hdr right? Also,can you shoot handheld photos and merge them or do they always need to be shot on a tripod?
    Oh and last of all,does hdrmerge work and output exclusively raw images or can you import jpeg and export jpeg?

    • @ScottJWaldron
      @ScottJWaldron  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I rarely mess with bracketing and HDR so I'm not the one to ask about specifics. I don't recall which models of camera allow for hand held HDR, but I think it was Olympus. If you attempted to do handheld bracketing with the Canon you'd need software that compensates for slight movements, but even then I'd think issues like field curvature of the lens could come into play too.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your videos.
    Do you know if Canon digital cameras merge HDR Brackets in camera ?
    As opposed to doing them in post ?
    Thanks. Ed Gutentag

    So the M50 can't merge bracketed shots in the camera? I think that is sometimes referred to as an HDR mode. So it doesn't have that?

    • @ScottJWaldron
      @ScottJWaldron  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It has two settings related to having the camera make an artificially equalized JPEG photos:
      "auto lighting optimizer"
      "highlight tone priority"
      Those are not something I use so I can't say how (well) they work. It would apply to JPEGs only.
      As far as I know, there is no feature to merge an "auto exposure bracket (AEB)" in the camera. It looks like some Canon cameras have a mode specifically called HDR. It's not in the M50 as far as I know.
      You can download a PDF version of the M50's manual from Canon's website:

      @@ScottJWaldron I need to study those more. I found out there are others. When set to 'scenes' choose the scene "HDR Backlight control" which actual DOES automatically take three shots and combine them ! BUT it has not customization at all. AND no choices of metering methods ! So you get really different results based on where you place the auto focus, because it seem to meter there as well. And you can't adjust offset the exposure, it seems. I don't think changing metering types in other modes affects it. I've only had the M50 a few days, but I think the menus and settings change for different modes, which is common, perhaps always, but still frustrating. There also something under the shooting mode 'creative filters' that does some HDR-like stuff sort I think. Idk if it takes multiple shots though. I may mess with it more. But yeah the idea of the modes is great, but they are so limited, idk if I will figure out when and how to get use out of them.

    You can only take 3 photo brackets on manual mode which is weird.

    • @ScottJWaldron

      I don't understand what you mean. You could manually adjust aperture, iso, and shutter speed to take as many photos as you want. This auto exposure bracketing feature, from what I remember, can offset three photos so it's easier than doing it manually. Camera companies intentionally make features like this limited in entry-level cameras.
