Canon T1i bracketing...HELP!!

[PhotoMom86]

If this thread is in the wrong spot I am sorry!

I have a Canon t1i. I know I am supposed to be able to "bracket" so I can make an HDR but I can't figure out how to set the camera to do this. I "googled" it already and came up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If in single frame mode you need to press the shutter 3x...if in continuous you need to hold the shutter down and the camera will fire 3...

Wow thanks!!!! Idk how I missed these!!! Thanks a ton! So literally I put it on continuous shooting and it takes 3 shots all with different exposures?

bingo.

(assuming you first set up the Auto Exposure Bracketing...)

I have the same camera....
If you put it on continuous, you hold the button down for three shots. If it's on single shot mode, you press three separate times.
It would be nice if it was automatic: ie if it's set to bracket on single shot, pressing the button once would fire off three shots.

I started playing around with this recently on my T1i. Both pressing it 3 times and holding it down are bad options as it causes the camera to move a little each time making the image shift. Get a cable release, remote, or use the timer. The are pretty cheap and you'll get much better results than relying on HDR software to align it.
