Could you not buy one of these remotes with intervalometer, and set the 
camera to bracket?

Re: K-7 question

2010-06-28 Thread Peter Loveday



Don't have one, I'm still shooting the K-x (and the K-7 isn't an
option for me, I need that high ISO performance). Hell, of late I'm
doing 90%+ of my shooting on film, mostly with my two Maxxum bodies.


Page 146 of the manual states:

When the interval shooting is set, Extended Bracketing and Multi-exposure 
are not available.


I don't think he wants to do extended bracketing or multi-exposure, just 
regular bracketing? If so


I don't have a K7, and my K20D isn't at hand to test right now... but have 
you tried changing the custom setting that makes all the bracket shots 
happen with a single shutter press, rather than requiring hold or multiple 
presses (I think the K20D calls this one-push bracketing) ?


It would seem to make sense that the intervalometer would then trigger 
multiple exposures with one press , but I may be wrong.

You make a good point, Peter.  I realize now that it was talking about 
'extended' bracketing, not just bracketing.  I guess it's worth experimenting.

I did however get a friend of mine to move from Minolta SR mount to
the K-7. He does some interval stuff and is having issues. He's under
the impression that I know everything about the K-7 so he asked me if
I knew how to get those two options to play together.

Don't have an answer for you, but tell your friend the batteries are  
rechargeable, and he/she will waste no film trying any and all  
combinations to see if it will work. And don't forget HDR. That may  
work on intervalometer mode, and does the same thing, and is  
adjustable to some degree.
