Hi,
I'm going to start up as a real estate photographer and I want to use my D7100 for this role. My question relates to the live view feature on this camera.
Last week I went out with the guy that I'll be working for and he was using a canon for this task. In this role he takes a series of 9 images at different exposures of one composition and then uses a program to blend these images via HDR.
The technique he uses is he'll use the canon's equivalent of live view to compose the image. Then he places a 3 exposure bracket marks along the exposure indicator on the screen. The canon has a tool where you can scroll these bracket marks along the exposure indicator so if you say want an underexposed bracket set you scroll the bracket marks to the underexposed side of the meter. With this in mind, he takes 3 sets of 3 bracketed exposures (he sets them by scrolling the bracket marks along the exposure indicator) of the one composition (totalling 9). The 1st set is underexposed, the 2nd is around the correct exposure mark, and the last set is over. When he scrolls the bracket marks along the meter the live view screen also shows the changes in exposure live.
I've looked through the D7100 manual & I can't find a way to replicate these factors on my camera. Does anyone know if this is possible (eg. live view showing exposure changes & being able to place bracket marks along the exposure indicator)?
Cheers
Shane
