Thanks for this tutorial!
ReplyDeleteVery straightforward
One big problem of the NEX-5 HDR
ReplyDeleteThe AUTO-HDR works from +/- 1 EV to +/- 6 EV in the NEX-5
but the exposure bracketing for Photomatix Pro, Artizen HDR o Photoshop works
only from +/- 0,3 EV to +/- 0,7 EV.
Anyone can understand the reasons of that deficit (very easily solvable with a
new firmware) in the best Sony 3D camera?
Best regards.

need to change the settings between each shot, so it won't be possible to do it
handheld".

our taste)".
@omnial Unfortunately it seems Sony likes that max of +/- 0.7 EV for it's auto-bracketing. Even the SLT-A55 uses it. The best way is to do it is in Manual mode so that you have maximum shots and an EV range to your liking.
ReplyDeleteBut that is a big deficit in front of
ReplyDeleteCanon EOS 550D, Lumix G2H and others cams
in order to make HDR pics with Photomatix
or Photoshop, without tripoidal and manual mode.
I think that can have a easy solution with a new future firmware for our NEX-5... I hope...
