  2. One big problem of the NEX-5 HDR

    The 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

    our taste)".

  3. @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.

  4. But that is a big deficit in front of
    Canon 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...
